“To be clear — cop city is not just a controversial training center. It is a war base where police will learn military-like maneuvers to kill black people and control our bodies and movements. The facility includes shooting ranges, plans for bomb testing, and will practice tear gas deployment. They are practicing how to make sure poor and working class people stay in line. So when the police kill us in the streets again, like they did to Rayshard Brooks in 2020, they can control our protests and community response to how they continually murder our people” – Kwame Olufemi, Community Movement Builders.”

"Reproductive Health is a Right, Not a Luxury!" That's why we launched this campaign—to provide sustainable solutions by distributing reusable pads. This initiative isn’t just about pads; it's about dignity, empowerment, and breaking barriers hindering their progress. Alongside pad distribution, we'll offer menstrual health education sessions to teach proper use and care when feasible.

Their Demands:

1. The immediate reinstatement of all students suspended for Palestine activism; including Hafiza Khalique as a student of NYU;

2. The immediate cease and desist of all disciplinary proceedings targeting Palestine advocacy, and apology from NYU for its:

1. Engagement in explicit anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and Islamophobic repression of student activism on campus; and

2. Failure to protect vulnerable students during a time of increased violence against these communities; and

3. A commitment from NYU to protecting Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students from doxxing, harassment and campus repression going forward.

The historical legacies of violence against Black women are long, and now these violences show up in digital spaces. Moya Bailey, a Black feminist scholar, coins this form of digital embodied violence as misogynoir. In this teach-in, we will explore what digital misogynoir is and look deeply at the ways in which Black nonbinary, agender, and gender-variant folks clap back through means of harm reduction and digital alchemy.
