We’re demanding that these schools divest from all law enforcement and military agencies, including CPD, FOP, ICE, and the private campus police that terrorize Black students and the Black communities these campuses intrude on

We want to remind people that COPS ARE NOT WORKERS, that our universities have real workers (especially our Black & Brown dinning/dorm workers that need support), and that we should not be interacting with the FOP AT ALL

We also want to acknowledge that the claim that our colleges/universities “can” reform the cop is ignorant at best and incredibly violent at worst

Along with divesting from these domestic institutions, we want to uplift the BDS campaign from Palestinian students to demand our colleges compile @sjpchi

As we support divestment, we also believe that community care is the only way to keep us safe & that means re-investing in Black communities & students health & well being

& lastly, we REALLY want to emphasize that here we follow the lead of student organizers who also rep their local orgs. Here we uplift the work of ppl on the ground. Here we KNOW that the Acadmey will not lead a revolution

A PWI is not brining about radical change y’all

& so, we follow the lead and calls by our local Chicago orgs, we support and amplify, we leverage the power of our institutions

This is not an exhaustive list of demands as we are ever growing, learning, & building

and we hope you all will join us in this important work
