abnormalization of queer people that happens within the rest of the nation-state, and will
provide whatever resources we can to retain our queer students.
we recognize the individual needs of trans, agender, genderfluid, and gender nonconforming students and will work with them to retain them, they are integral members of
our community and of the revolution. we are invested in critiquing the heteropatriarchy,
while critiquing the abnormalization of trans people that happens within the rest of the
nation-state.
we recognize the individual needs of undocumented students, and will work with them to
help them gain citizenship should that be what they desire, or if not, then in their dealing
with the u.s. government, and their right to exist on any side of colonial and imperial
borders. we do not believe any human can be rendered illegal, especially by an illegal
nation-state.
we recognize the use of the english language as part of the ongoing colonization and
imperialization of people of color, and so are able to provide translations of any lectures
for any students upon request.
we refuse to invest in u.s. imperialism, and will not support it, nor will we invest or use
research that supports it.
we understand the prison industrial complex as a force that shapes every aspect of our
students lives even once they have reached higher education. we will not invest in it:
economically or morally. we believe in the abolition of systems of incarceration. and we
will recognize the role it plays in the lives of our students, particularly for black,
indigenous, and latinx men as a shaping force of their experiences in this world.
we will hold weekly town-hall meetings at different times each week for students to
attend and discuss the campus climate, as well as having members of the administrative
team available from 8am to 8pm everyday to discuss these issues, should someone not be
able to make these town hall meetings.
we will only accept funding via unconditional donations that do not hold any kind of
stipulations with them.
