Even more intense than Columbia by all accounts. This is citywide repression.

The continued mismatch between Columbia University’s actions and the alleged harms remains baffling to the point of bad faith. And the tragedies the president laments below seem the predictable outcomes of her actions. I’m a proud alum, but I do not have faith in this administration.

After years of advocacy, the Assembly has the votes to pass a major bill to protect families from harassment via ACS/CPS — but they’re about to go home without voting on it. They have no excuse to avoid passing this.

Another attempt to silence, intimidate, and undercut anyone who’s not white & not a cis man — particularly Black women. Gross.

You may have heard a couple things about us, but we're here to set the record straight! A lawsuit accuses Northwestern Law of discriminating against White men in hiring practices. This case makes inaccurate claims about CRDJ and our Faculty Director, Jamelia Morgan. Let's chat.

An Appeal survey of state prison systems reveals that prisoners in many of the hottest states live in units without air-conditioning. Only five states provide air conditioning in all prison housing units.
