Please read and share this the statement written by the residents of Echo Park lake. It's truly remarkable.

Join us Wednesday at 2:30pm in front of Sample Gates to mourn the lives of those lost from the recent anti-Asian hate in Atlanta.

Come and stand in solidarity with the Asian and Asian-American community in grief and outrage.

[Indiana Daily Student @idsnews]

Some protestors for the “March to End the Madness” demonstration sat in tents at the tailgate fields and chanted for three hours. The group was protesting the City of Bloomington’s treatment of the homeless population.

Awesome March today everyone, thank you to everyone who came!

If you got gear to drop off or pick up come by Dunn Meadow

[March to End the Madness @endthemadnessIN]

Again IUPD failed to tell us what policy we’re breaking. Tents go up there every game day! They choose to enforce whatever they want with no accountability.

[March to End the Madness @endthemadnessIN]

If you’re able please come to 17th street and Woodlawn Ave! We need friends and bodies to help protect our tents!

[March to End the Madness @endthemadnessIN]

Hello friends

[March to End the Madness @endthemadnessIN]

If @SKTauChapter can build structures on IU property, then so can we!

We don’t see IUPD harassing them!

[March to End the Madness @endthemadnessIN]

This sentiment is rooted in anti-homelessness ideology. The university fears the idea of Bloomington’s unhoused population venturing into IU’s gated community

[March to End the Madness @endthemadnessIN]

Yesterday afternoon IUPD infringed on our constitutional rights and IU policies by stealing our protest equipment.

They refused to tell us what policies we were breaking. How can we follow the rules if they won’t tell us what they are?

[March to End the Madness @endthemadnessIN]

NUMEROUS officers and administrators refused to tell us what policies we were breaking. However we knew the policies.

[March to End the Madness @endthemadnessIN]

Nevertheless, top IUPD officials came to steal our equipment. And gave their real intentions:
Officer Shannon Bunger said, “we can’t have a bunch of tents popping up”
Superintendent Ben Hunter said, “ya know we have a big game in town”

[March to End the Madness @endthemadnessIN]

Cedric Harris, of the Dean of Students office, had already told us earlier that day (while backed by armed IUPD cadets) that we could keep our supply tent, but we’d need to take out the stakes, which we respected.
