We can honor John Lewis by honoring the thousands of Black activists and organizers who have been profiled, incarcerated, and killed by the state.

There’s going to be a lot of politicians lifting up John Lewis’ legacy in one hand while still upholding structural racism with the other. And as soon as they’re able, they’ll return to upholding racism with both hands. We see this every MLK holiday. Sad but not surprising.

Disclose. Divest. Disband

ALT Disclose. Divest. Disband

Duke has long lacked transparency. Our demand to Disclose is the first step to holding the University accountable for its role in policing campus life and investing in the prison-industrial complex.

Divestment is the joint call to define oppressive systems, invest in community needs - particularly by funding historically marginalized communities that have been harmed.

Given that policing as we know it was neither from slave patrols, a violent progeny of white supremacy, there is no possible reform. Duke must disband DUPD.
