Between spending thousands on protecting a statue of a slave owner during a pandemic and now firing essential staff at Mizzou’s Social Justice Centers in a time of evident national unrest, Mizzou really has a way with terrible timing
Mizzou alums,
If you’ve been impacted by one of the Social Justice Centers on campus—been to an event, worked there, met your best friends there, found your sense of self and belonging on campus—we have got to do something to support our spaces.
Been a bit since I've done this but in light of recent events, Mizzou students & staff - my DMs are open / galenbacharier at gmail if you want to chat
Off the record (not quoted/named) until we agree otherwise
#Mizzou can always afford to protect racist statues or further militarize our campus police force, but now is “unable” to afford staffing campus social justice groups. do not come to this evil institution, they simply do not give a fuck about you if you aren’t a rich racist donor
There have been more than enough events in the the last year, last month, and honestly even in the past week to demonstrate the importance of Social Justice and campus resources for ALL students - especially those who are underrepresented or struggling. @Mizzou
Mizzou should be prioritizing social justice centers, not removing them. Now more than ever, students from underrepresented groups deserve to feel safe and valued on campus. Do better @Mizzou
(1/3) Use this hashtag (#Justice4MUSocialJustice) to post videos and statements about the immense work that the Social Justice Center Coordinators do, and about how they impact the environment of the centers, the university and our respective communities.
Don’t have enough info to comment on it however while punishing individual acts of racism is good we think Mizzou should look at the overall campus culture that creates the sort of environment where hateful acts such as these happen (This is not the first and won’t be the last)
