Whereas the labor for dramatic change in the institution has fallen on Black

In response to these recent events and the cyclical nature of anti-blackness
and racism at The Evergreen State College, students are engaging in an
ongoing struggle for equity on campus. Today at 1pm, students will be
rallying in the Library lobby to formally present a List of Demands to College
administrators as well as to show solidarity with the individuals whose bodies
are routinely targeted by The Evergreen State College.
This is a CALL TO ACTION to show up in solidarity with students on
campus; to report incidents of racial bias or harassment by or at The
Evergreen State College; to submit claims to the Office of Civil Rights; and
to contact College administrators to demand repercussions for ongoing
incidents of anti-blackness conducted by students and faculty alike.

The office of President George Bridges - harriss@evergreen.edu
Vice President of Student Affairs Wendy Endress -
endressw@evergreen.edu
Assistant to the VP for Student Conduct Andrea Seabert Olsen -
