UT leadership is advocating for a multimillion dollar appropriation to create a “Liberty Institute” at UT, despite the ongoing hardships faced by students. Instead of funding this, we hope to use the appropriations for other resources that help students on campus.

As part of the UT community, we have a responsibility to respect the wishes of the Miakan-Garza band and amplify their demands. The fate of these ancestral remains belongs in the hands of their people, not an academic institution built on stolen land. https://t.co/KfiSdaBOXd
Trump has sent Feds into our cities to collab with local police and white supremacist vigilantes.
Join us for an urgent call with frontline organizers to understand the moment we are in and how we fight back.

Decolonizing is more about the material return of land to Indigenous stewards than it is about becoming a buzzword for settler professors to use 😳 Decolonization is hard, challenging, and deeply personal. It wasn’t made for ivy towers to use as a cute tag.
hi @JCHartzell@utsystem if ur gonna hold so tight to ur endowment that is literally killing the earth and contributing to mass militarization u could at least use it to keep campus closed and protect students and workers who aren’t acting like fools partying :)
summary:
1. ABOLISH & DEFUND utpd
2. adopt test-optional admissions
3. incorporate land acknowledgements at all UT events
4. required module + flag centered on systemic racism
5. REMOVE & RENAME all racist structures
6. STOP singing the eyes of tx
7. FUND ethnic studies depts
AUSTIN WE GOT ACTION ITEMS. in contact with organizers from @/400and1 about the man who may have been killed by a rubber bullet last night as well as a few others who were hit in the head with them. READ THIS EBLAST VERY CAREFULLY AND ACT. #findjohndoeatx https://t.co/w5sU35RO2A
start by removing racist building names and statues, disciplining greek life, and banning the Round Up period. then maybe u can say u don’t “shirk ur responsibility”
student organizers aren’t shirking shit. they’re out here every day despite the ur barriers
As Longhorns, when we are tested, we don’t shy away. When we are challenged, we don’t shirk our responsibility. We come together to take on the most important and difficult issues of our time.

AUSTIN: AUSTIN LAWYER'S GUILD will have their phone lines open, and can be reached at 512-817-4ALG (512-817-4254). WRITE THIS ON YOUR BODY. On a couple limbs to make sure it will not sweat off. Look out for the people wearing green legal observer hats to alert to any cop activity
But here's the thing. It's not just cops killing black people.
Capitalism kills black people at a rate cops could never begin to compete with.
For starters, there are grossly disproportionate black deaths to disease, whether it be COVID, heart disease, or diabetes.
