BIPOCUS statement of solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

@NSPIRG If you are interested feel free to send NSPIRG a Facebook message or email them @ outreach@nspirg.ca

@NSPIRG I was wondering if anyone from BIPOCUS would be interested in facilitating one of the conversations? We'll have a small honorarium for whoever is interested. I can also send you the list of topics we will try and be covering as suggested by some student feedback."

Footage of Dalhousie students, alongside faculty and community members, at the @DalhousieU Welcome Reception for new Interim President Peter MacKinnon engaging in a peaceful silent action to display their concern with his appointment. #DalDoBetter #NotOurPres #MacKinnonNoMore

We hope our university delivers on tangible actions in order to address both individual and systemic racism as well as the concerns of other marginalized folks on our campuses. #DalDoBetter #NotOurPres #MacKinnonNoMore

Students, faculty, and community united our efforts, vision, and concerns for our university, and took action into our own hands today. We hope that this demonstration strikes a meaningful dialogue with our university and beyond. #DalDoBetter #NotOurPres #MackinnonNoMore

Today, Dalhousie Students engaged in a silent action to address Interim President MacKinnon’s blatant support of anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism along with other forms of oppressive rhetoric. #DalDoBetter #NotOurPres #MacKinnonNoMore

@IBJIYONGI @MalindaSmith Thank you for sharing your experience with Dal. It is unfortunate but not unusual as seen with the historical track record uncovered with this scholarly panel. We hope to hold the university accountable to their new found support for Black folks and we will be demanding better.

Scholarly Panel Draft Recommendations included: - An apology from Dalhousie on its relationship to slavery and anti-black racism. - Funding for Black students. - Teach about slavery & anti-blackness in primary to grade 12 and in post-secondary institution. #DalRacism
