Some good news: Our last edition was all about a new ICE rule that would require international students whose courses were going online-only to leave the country. In the face of massive public pushback (and lawsuits), they have dropped the rule. Take a moment to celebrate!
Now, onto this week’s workout: In our recent Defund the Police edition, we featured activists Dr. Barbara Ransby and Charlene Carruthers. Their abolitionist vision wasn't just about dismantling harmful institutions but also about building a better future by investing in black communities. Today's edition is about supporting the “invest” part of the invest-divest model that underpins calls to defund the police.
