@theJulieAWard Revised list coming soon. 🤗

So Harper finally resigned. On to the next task!

If you are thinking about being a ally or accomplice, Here are some things to beware of when you are doing coalition/collective building. Here are things not be. A Thread.

*Activists and Legislators:* Here’s a thread of MEANINGFUL legislation that has been proposed and, in some cases, passed in cities and states to address police violence. Consider passing legislation like this in your community, too. (1/x)

This system is ruthless. Black people doing the organizing, logistics, provide comfort, supplies, control the narrative, and also gotta educate our allies on what to do and not do at rallies, all while knowing there are planted instigators to sobatage the movement. #WeAreTired

Thank you to my colleagues on the OU Faculty Senate for their work. To teach is to love.

UPDATE: Shortly after interim OU President Joseph Harroz's statement, BERT member Destinee Dickson said the organization will present six new demands ensuring checks and balances between the offices of the president and provost: bit.ly/2w3lFRD

@BERT_OU my straight White professor just canceled class so we could all go sit in and TBH he’s the kind of faculty we need at OU

If you are not in support of your Black peers and @BERT_OU , you are already situating yourself on the wrong side of history. To the students in Evans Hall for the second night in a row, I stand in solidarity with you. Change WILL come. #TheHateYouHire

Day 2. Still here.

Hey OU, I want you to think about how professors who use racial slurs are somehow protected by the First Amendment and we see no action, BUT (1/?)

Standing in solidarity with you @BERT_OU ✊🏽 #TheHateYouHire

statement from BERT: “Our demands still have not been met, so we will continue to do a sit in, we will continue to do a hunger strike.” 6 BERT exec. members are on the strike and haven’t eaten since 8 am yesterday, Jamelia Reed says.

Check the date. We been knowing this!

OU is protesting a hunger strike and sit in at the University President’s Office. In response to recent demonstrations of ignorance and hate speech by OU faculty,the Black Emergency Response Team (BERT) @BERT_OU deciced to take action.@TXBSA is here to support #TheHateYouHire ✊🏽
