Our next scheduled chapter meeting will take place this Saturday June 20th at 3PM PST on our discord. At this meeting, we will be discussing our chapter's response to our demands not being met by the GWU OTP's statement.
The ILWU, one of the strongest and most militant unions in the US, will stop work at all 29 ports on the west coast to commemorate Juneteenth. Systemic Racism upholds Capitalism, but workers can stop it ✊🏿✊🏾
Join this historic action and raise the voices of labor! #JuneteenthSPT
@Serellan Our initial response before this statement was made is currently a pinned tweet on our account for further reading. Hope that answers some of your questions!
Our response to the death of George Floyd:
GWU Bay Area stands in solidarity with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, David McAtee, their families, and with all Black people who experience trauma because white supremacy sees their skin as a weapon. May they rest in power.
It's great to see #gamedevpaidme making its way across our timelines! Transparency in pay is critical if we are ever going to build an industry that sustains us rather than burns us out and throws us away. We encourage all our members to share their stories and their salaries!
Marijam is no longer a part of GWU International. Now it's time for public and specific apologies, as per @GWU_Seattle's Statement of Demands. More work still needs to be done.

We at GWU Seattle are holding an emergency meeting tonight to develop a plan with our Chapter members to demand accountability from our movement. We strongly encourage other GWU Chapters to do the same. Watch this space for updates.
Still waiting for a response from @GameWorkers. I'll retweet this every single day till @GameWorkers give POC in the games community an answer + remedial actions. You are failing us. Stop protecting your organisation & start supporting us. Do you stand in solidarity w us or not?

@SilverSober One hundred percent understand. It's tough to do organizing when our groups are so small and often funded by its members. Take care of yourselves, we will continue to challenge ourselves everyday to improve, and hold folks accountable. 🖤✊
