If you are like the rest of us and you no longer support GDI and the people that run this organization, then REMOVE your meetup membership immediately. #gdistrike

Attention lovely followers! List your favorite organizations that could use the energy and talent of our amazing Atlanta community. Also any orgs that are helping marginalized folks develop their professional and coding skills. #AtlantaRocks #GDIStrike

BREAKING: @GDIPhilly co-organizer @suzienieman is resigning following ongoing problems with the organization surrounding alleged discrimination. They are encouraging in this memo sent out to followers to unfollow the social media pages. Read full statement here. #GDIStrike

I stepped down publicly during the last town hall because I was so frustrated with the way GDI refused to address the racism & discrimination the org was experiencing for months. #GDIStrike

Good to see the local leadership responding really well to the situation, and as a former TA I'm happy this is a rebirth and not an ending (see Collab & Code)

"Op-ed: Here’s why we still need to talk about Girl Develop It: GDI is a virtual case study in how avoiding real discussions about race can damage a company or organization."... technical.ly/delaware/2019/…

And our landing page is officially up! If your interested in learning more or becoming a #TechByChoice leader in your city check out the site for more info ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 buff.ly/2QXhJXg

If you align with the #gdistrike, please remove yourself from your local Meetup page. Keep @girldevelopit honest about their membership reporting.

Did you know that I gave @girldevelopit 6 years of my life? When I resigned due to their racist and discriminatory behavior you know what they said to me? Nothing. Not one single word. #gdistrike

Attention: Julie and Makai have decided to step down as Chapter Leaders and Organizers, effective immediately. The Atlanta Chapter of GDI will not be continued with our involvement. read more bit.ly/2CPJNXu
