#CaltechEugenics @Caltech must publicly reject its ties with eugenics. Stand with us by pledging to withdraw financial support from Caltech and to speak openly about our legacy of white supremacy at recruitment events until they meet the following demands:
ALT #CaltechEugenics. We demand that Caltech 1. Rename all buildings, spaces, and programs named for eugenicists and white supremacists. 2. Move all statues, paintings and other commemorations of these individuals to a room on campus dedicated as a permanent educational exhibit on the HumanBetterment Foundation and Caltech's history with eugenics. 3. Publicly denounce Caltech's legacy of eugenics pseudoscience and racism, and issue a formal apology to those it has harmed, including Sarah Sam and all Black and disabled members of our community. Until Caltech addresses its racist past, we pledge to honestly communicate about Caltech’s failure to take anti-racist action, and withhold all donations to Caltech. Sign the pledge: bit.ly/caltecheugenics.

Caltech finally hired its 1st full-time disability coordinator. I'm happy this happened, because disabled students will have someone with the expertise and time to ensure they have equitable opportunity. I've personally struggled with this. It's just so nice to see progress.
