As my employer - Columbia University University - calls armed riot police into campus to smash a peaceful protest against a genocide, we must all speak out. My former students have been arrested. I'm proud of you. History will be too. Remember what I said in our first class last year:

Only in hyper capitalist dysfunction does working = poor.

I can’t think of a more deserving organisation in Ghana for your money. Please support them. They tracked nearly every violation against LGBTIQ Ghanaians and every development with the anti-gay law for years now.
