@Tcg18D Faculty have been actively working with the chancellor and have established new concrete policy updates that have been publicized in the Daily Bruin. https://t.co/0hd6LYAgQS #chtown18
Whether we're students, activists, faculty, or business owners - our voices all matter. Despite our separate proposals, we stand together in our mutual endeavor to bring about change to UTCG and the broader LA community, particularly those who need it most. #chtown18
Glad that @AASC_director and I managed to get away from our faculty duties in time to finally meet with @uocsajamielee and reconcile our differences alongside the activists. Amidst all of the current commotion, it's reassuring that unity can still prevail over division. #chtown18
We understand and share your anger. Given our limited abilities to lobby administration to terminate Simmons, we are actively working together with Chancellor Brick to have this demand met. #chtown18
We also extend an invitation to you to join our open meeting at 9 PM @ Source (UCAE). Student voices are crucial in both helping us develop our proposal for the betterment of the campus and local community and establish a proactive plan moving forward against sexual harrassment.
Big move - and a much appreciated one - from Mayor Lopez tonight, especially in the tumultuous times we're facing right now. It will do Chinatown's businesses and community both much good to rid it of abhorrent labor practices and establish it as safe place for all. #chtown18
In support of our major immigrant communities, and the many factions that have let me know their concerns for ensuring the representation of immigrant communities in the #LauraSongFoundation I have decided actions speak louder than words ---> Read below #chtown18
@AascFaculty I know you were especially angry at yourself for not realizing that this was happening so close to you sooner, but all we can do from here is move forward. #chtown18
@AascFaculty Hoping that you're feeling better. I can personally attest to witnessing @AascFaculty's emotional investment in this issue after seeing him alternatively cry and fret for hours on end in his office. #chtown18
No words do justice to the whiplash of emotions I've felt today. Shocked, disheartened, angry - it's so easy to become numb. But now is the time, more than ever, to take action. UTCG is my home, and I refuse to be complacent while students are distraught and frightened. #chtown18
Reassuring to learn that Mayor Lopez is vowing to put community interests over corporate. We here at the academic and activist coalition would be happy to discuss with @LopezForLA the future of Walmart's presence in LA Chinatown. #antigentrification#prolocal#chtown18
In last week's interview, the Mayor clearly stated that Walmart did not consult her office in 2013. She now explains that this quote, published earlier today, is a โmisrepresentationโ and publicly corrects her statement. #chtown18
Very productive meeting today with activists today. We had a wonderful discussion about our shared interests and goals, and I eagerly anticipate future collaborative efforts. Let's make Laura's dreams and ideals reality! #chtown18#teamworkmakesthedreamwork
Great meeting between faculty and activists, rallying for a pro-local solution. Let's put people and public service first to honor Laura's memory! #LauraSongIsNotForSale#chtown18
