Good people. As funding for race equity work dries up, MnEEP needs $25k in community funding to continue to build a racially just education system in Minnesota.

This is a good idea to defend public higher education from the federal coercion happening right now!

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.
