@ToreeBlack Set the groundwork for the next battle. Be it another initiative here or elsewhere or to defend affirmative action in the courts, we'll be there! :)

[Bruins for Prop 16 @BruinsForProp16]

Our coalition may find a new name and new ballot measure in a few years - however long it takes - but the students of color, womxn, and orgs that made up #BruinsForProp16 will continue to fight for higher education access and equity for BIPOC students.

@wlj1223 No ulterior motive. Literally, you have BLM in your bio. We had the founders of BLM and all major civil rights groups on our side. Aff axn is already widely practiced in the 41 states, the federal govt, and the private sector. If you wanna chat on zoom, we can.

@soulflowerjess It’s already over, but there are other anti-discrimination laws that protect against animus. So MALDEF and Advancing Justice and the ACLU still supported it. Well, maybe another time. Stay safe!

@stephenlaca @leyism #Prop16 reinstates a well-regulated affirmative action to advance racial justice & gender equality and let everyone reach their full potential. Stand with Dr. King's family, the ACLU, and ALL major civil rights groups. Vote #YESonProp16! https://t.co/PV5x7pQHhv

@hottaecs Just saying, it's because conservatives worded Prop 209 so deceptively. And 209 can only be repealed using the same language.

[Asian Students for Affirmative Action #YesOnProp16 @asiansforaa]

@soulflowerjess Wait, but #Prop16 is endorsed by the founders of BLM. Why did you vote no?

[Asian Students for Affirmative Action #YesOnProp16 @asiansforaa]

@its_adrian_tho We know it's confusing. The 1996 ban on affirmative action was deceptively written by a man who doesn’t believe in systemic racism. The ban was supported by David Duke / opposed by Rosa Parks, Dr. King’s family, and all civil rights groups. #Prop16 repeals that ban. #YesOnProp16!
