"So when I was accepted to Harvard in 1976, I declared my intended major: Asian American studies. There was only one problem: No such program existed at Harvard.
Today, 43 years later, there still is none."

The term “Caucasian” is nonsense. All white people don’t come from the Caucasus Mountains. It was created to give “whiteness” legitimacy by connecting it to a region of common heritage. “White” was constructed to keep power in the hands of certain people while excluding others.

“I can’t begin to image what change Amazon will bring if they were to come. Amazon is not welcomed in Queens and it is not welcomed in NYC. Queens and especially Queensbridge is home to a lot of families that... facebook.com/219010888115815…
While CRAASH members went into the town hall, so many others stayed outside to march and continue the energy of the rally. Amazing job everyone!
#CUNYNotHQ2/#FuckOffAmazon protesters tried to march through one of the Hunter College buildings but were stopped by a line of NYPD. Large police presence (including NYPD legal & the anti-protest Strategic Response Group aka SRG) outside of NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio’s town hall.

“Hey hey! Ho ho! Amazon has got to go!” #CUNYNotHQ2/#FuckOffAmazon protesters tried to march through one of the Hunter College buildings but were stopped by a line of NYPD. NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is holding a town hall at Hunter College tonite.
While we continue to join in the efforts against the likes of Amazon, we also remain committed to supporting and advocating for Asian American Studies, Ethnic Studies, Hunter and CUNY students, and all oppressed peoples and communities. #FuckOffAmazon #CUNYNotHQ2 #Fight4AAS

We were kicked out of the town hall for being disruptive, but we'll be back. #CUNYnotHQ2

Allowing Amazon to come here doesn't bring us jobs, it gives profits to the rich and increases homelessness, poverty, displacement, and surveillance of our communities.

How does "community engagement" private or public justify building 4 new jails? That's not a commitment to decarcerate NYC, it's a commitment to expand infrastructure that supports broken windows policing and caging people #NoNewJailsNYC #CloseRikersNOW @nonewjails_nyc – at Manhattan, NY

Anti-Amazon protesters gathering outside of Hunter College where NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is set to have a townhall. #CUNYNotHQ2

The mayor is in here lying about the successes of community policing, investing in CUNY's STEM programs, and his investment in 'affordable housing'. At one point, he even said NYC is the safest city in the country, but safe for WHO?
