Got off the phone w an admin this afternoon about air purifiers for students who need them. They're gonna look at Emergency Grant-in-Aid requests on a case-by-case basis.

WRT env justice, this is a loss bc we know that bureaucratic hoops leave behind the most vulnerable..1/ https://twitter.com/k_r_gonz/status/1308889910083022853

It's not a win for me to spend hours in labor to only get *my bandaid solution*. We need the policy changed.

It's not a win for on-campus students' option to be an air purifier library.

This is not a climate adaptation plan. 2/

When it comes to Sustainability and Environmental Justice, we need to realize that climate change is already affecting poor BIPOC people ~even on stanford's campus~ AND the surrounding neighborhoods. It's not enough to study EJ. We need to practice what we preach. PRAXIS. 3/

That's it. I'm sick of this institution's hypocrisy and racism. I dread the inevitable future where Brown and Black folx will get their phd in "sustainability" here but be displaced or made ill by climate disaster. [END thread]
