Formerly Girl Develop It Seattle-Tacoma

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

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)

This infuriated me. To hear @digitalblkhippy step-down & have @girldevelopit say "I don't know what you expect us to say?" pissed me off. Say you're sorry. Say you messed up. Say you gave a shit about what she did for the community. Say anything with substance. #gdistrike

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

.@TheRoot .@afropunk .@TechCrunch can someone help get the word out about the #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

"Why has this story, which features dozens of women in tech leaders rebelling against a well-established organization, not attracted the attention of national tech media? Is it a question of how this industry values gender or race issues?" #gdistrike technical.ly/philly/2019/01…

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

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

A town hall is taking place next Friday for anyone (chapter leaders, organizers, students, members, supporters, fans, etc.) to tune in and listen to the latest from GDI. We encourage you to join.
