Cw: Sexual violence, r**e
Swarthmore students are currently risking arrest in solidarity with sexual assault survivors by occupying their Phi Psi chapter’s fraternity building whose attic they deemed the “r**e attic”.
Swarthmore should be ashamed that the only thing they are willing to do for the countless people predated on by this fraternity is stop the fraternity’s activities for the rest of the year.
This training is a great opportunity to be ready to help Movimiento Cosecha GR on May 1st!
VICTORY! Grand Valley Administration verbally commits to creating a mandatory consent and sexual violence program as well as a volunteer confidential crisis team.
Students from the Michigan Student Power Network (MSPN, also known as United Students Against Sweatshops Local #77) met with Grand Valley administration this morning to discuss their demands for better sexual assault prevention on campus. The group had delivered a letter of demand to administration a week prior.
“We are pleased to say that by the end of our meeting, Grand Valley administration verbally committed to implementing a mandatory aspect to our sexual assault prevention on campus, as well as the creation of a volunteer confidential crisis response team. The volunteers would be trained to handle trauma and sexual assault advocacy as well as deescalation. We look forward to working closely with administration to protect our survivors,” states a representative from MSPN.

Michigan Student Kneels For 24 Hours To Protest Racial Injustice
"We don’t need to depend on our celebrities and athletes to do it. We can do it ourselves."
Grand Valley USAS Stands in solidarity with Dana, and the students of color at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; we believe in solidarity and support of communities of color. If they rise up, we all rise. And if they kneel, we all kneel.
Dana has been a student at the University of Michigan for five years. Today he is kneeling on the "M" in the diag to draw attention to racism on campus and the university's failure to address it. He has been here since 6AM. He will stay here until Schlissel addresses him and the needs of Black and Latinx students. Please come by and show him your support, and share his message widely.
UPDATE 8:25PM: Dana Greene Jr. is still on the diag. He still needs people to come to the diag and stand with him. He is planning to stay for 24 hours (until 6AM) and needs people with him throughout (though he has kindly said that he doesnt expect people to stay). If you have shared this and are able, please go and be with Dana on the diag.

GV United Students Against Sweatshops stands in solidarity with the call to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day at Grand Valley State. It is absolutely abhorrent for us as a school to celebrate a holiday that honors white supremacy and genocide, and we hope Grand Valley State University Student Senate makes the decision to support the indigenous students they represent, as well as an ethical Grand Valley.
