For all y'all that showed up for the March for Science "protests" but not for George Floyd and the BLM movement, I see you. This is why black people don't trust science, scientists, && the institutions that support them. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackandSTEM

VOTER SUPPRESSION

[Cullen Roche @cullenroche]

When the economy crashes, but you save the stock market.

[Atom Ant @JustAnt84]

IDK who needs to hear this but, Black folks standing in hours long lines to vote isn’t a victory, it’s voter suppression and intentional sabotaging of the system.

“If you show me a Black community where there’s some type of violent crime issue, I can show you a community where there’s a much longer history of failed public policy to support that community.”

Today I am immensely grateful for the strength and leadership shown by our indigenous brothers and sisters. You have taught us so much in your fight for liberation, and I will fight for you, too. Thank you.

Here's a petition for ICE to rescind their decision against F-1 students

We should also push our universities to ask for the same.

[Tamara Marcus @TaxpayerScience]

I COULD NOT explain what I am feeling better than what these two humans have shared. While I am so thankful to occupy this space of activism, a part of me longs to “just be a scientist.”

But this is all bigger than me, && I will fight for as long as it is needed.

Listen to #ReclaimingSTEM board member @TaxpayerScience on NPR talk about #BlackLivesMatter & their 7 demands for change to the chief of police in Cedar Rapids!

Their activism lead the council to listen to their demands 🙌🏽

Thanks for asking me to join the DEI committee/teaching you about DEI.

I am busy creating a conference for minorities, writing a paper on conference experiences of minorities, and writing two papers on how best to teach minorities.

Ask somebody else, perhaps a white male.
