As a white person from a predominantly white community, the ONLY time I have been part of a truly diverse community is on my college track team. That experience was more valuable to me as a white ally than any of my coursework- and I minored in Inequality Studies. @BrownAthletics

Everybody loses, but no one loses more than black and brown athletes. And she admits in the email that she would have cut the team with the largest number of black and brown men if she were allowed to. Shame on you and shame on Brown University.

Shared my open letter to Brown University’s President asking her not to cut the men’s track and XC programs. Excellence should be seen in actions, not words. #savebrowntrack citiusmag.com/open-letter-to…

Our black athletes should not have to worry about their sense of belonging during a time when their identities are already being so viciously attacked. Brown University @BrownAthletics your actions speak louder than your words. Do better. #savebrowntrack #falsestart

One of these is not like the other. Our Track and Field family stands in solidarity with the fight for racial justice and our black athletes. Our Ivy League peer institutions stand in solidarity. Brown University & @BrownAthletics, you do not.

Spent a good chunk of my long run discussing how Brown University decided the best way to stay title ix compliant was to cut men’s teams and not advocate for more women... track 👏 is a👏joint👏 program👏 you are taking away coaches from WOMEN as well Save Brown Track #falsestart

Take a listen to this snippet from my recent conversation with Russell Dinkins about why Brown University's decision to cut Men's Track and Field contradicts their recent statements regarding diversity and access on campus. Full video: youtube.com/watch?v=Qlmte_…

Breaking down why Brown University decision to cut track is a racial diversity issue on Lester Nare podcast! Save Brown Track @BrownTrack #falsestart

Track & Field is a uniquely accessible sport, which makes Brown University's decision to cut Men's Track and replace it with Sailing, one of the most expensive, all the more confusing. With Lester Nare I break down why this is an issue Save Brown Track @BrownAthletics #falsestart

"When Brown was taking away one of those opportunities, I saw a person like me not having that opportunity. That riled me up so much so that I had to call them out. This is wrong.” – Russell Dinkins Russell Dinkins wants to Save Brown Track New pod: apple.co/30n9hsQ

Had the great pleasure of chatting with Chris Chavez & @davidlikesyou about the fright to Save Brown Track, racial injustice, college access and more

"[Track] has the biggest participation & affords the greatest accesses but you’re taking that away in lieu of sports that have very small participation numbers & a higher barrier to entry. I just felt it was completely wrong" - Russell Dinkins citiusmag.com/podcast/citius…

Russell Dinkins Save Brown Track Nearly 50,000 people have signed a petition to retain the Brown University’s track and field program’s varsity status. More information also at Save Brown Track. change.org/p/brown-univer…
