Today we celebrate. Join us at Founders 12 PM for a celebration of our victories.
A reminder that this work does not end here, we simply hope this was the catalyst for many to start this work moving forward. And for those who have done the work, a reminder that it's possible
Not only at Haverford, but the global community at large.
This is a reminder not just to Wendy, but every single so-called leader at these institutions, that BIPOC students will always be ready to mobilize and fight for change when you fail us. #DisruptHC#DisruptHaverford
We hope the administration understands that we have done the work that not only President Raymond refused to do, but also the generations of white folk in power who have found it morally and ethically acceptable to ignore the demands and needs of the most marginalized people.
To BIPOC in particular, bringing up the sentiments from Fred Motenโs and Nia Loveโs teach-in yesterday, there is a general strike enacted by and in our bodies everyday. In Motenโs words, โthe strikes not gonna end; itโs just gonna transform about how we believe in each other"
Although this fight is within the walls of an elite academic institution, remember that this fight is ushered by working class BIPOC everyday on the ground. Continue to show up, uplift and fight for the communities most marginalized by oppressive, settler-colonial structures.
update on a post we made earlier today and have since taken down:

Like we said strike's not over til demands are: met, budgeted, outlined, and accountability measures placed. Wendy can't end it just because she wants it to.
