accord. Know that when you take up space, you must *first* make ample space for the voices you aim to speak for. Tune in for our statement regarding the needs of BSU at UCSB.

[UCSB Black Student Union @blackatsb]

We cannot speak for the entire Black community, we ask that you allow us at least—as the Black students at UCSB—to speak on behalf of our own livelihoods at this time. Please do not seek validation for solidarity letters, as we can barely bring ourselves to speak on our own—

[UCSB Black Student Union @blackatsb]

SAY THEIR NAMES. KNOW THEIR STORIES. FIGHT FOR THEM.

[UCSB Black Student Union @blackatsb]

You’re not alone in this. Remember that.

[UCSB Black Student Union @blackatsb]

With everything going on right now, you have the right to be terrified, sad, confused, and overall sick of the repeated killings of our Black communities. Especially right now, we ask for you to PLEASE take care of your mental health. Log off, breathe, recoup, talk to loved ones.
