crazy thought but what if we empowered and uplifted the most marginalized in our communities and then supported their causes?

HB 602 revokes state financial aid, including scholarships such as Hope and Zell Miller, for two years from student protestors on Georgia college and university campuses who are convicted or found to have violated a student code of conduct due to "materially and substantially disruptive conduct." The definition of "materially and substantially disruptive conduct" encompasses a wide range of activity commonly associated with campus activism and protests.

Main Concerns:
This bill imposes harsh financial penalties for students who engage in a wide range of protest and civil disobedience activities which result in even minor student code of conduct violations. This bill would broadly impact students who are disciplined for engaging in campus activism, including protesting on campus, graffiti, and participating in student encampments. For example, students who protest outside of campus events using "loud or sustained noise" intended to discourage attendees or who block campus sidewalks could be penalized under this bill. This is a further attempt to suppress campus activism by creating higher penalties for students who speak out.

Given universities' willingness to call law enforcement in response to campus organizing, this bill poses a threat to student safety. Following the harsh crackdown on support for Palestine in colleges and universities in Georgia and across the country, this bill will likely be used to further repress organizing in support of Palestine. Despite boilerplate language in the bill aiming to protect First Amendment rights, this bill will nonetheless curtail those rights by repressing student speech.

Georgia lawmakers continue their assault on academic freedom, now threatening to deny loans, grants, and scholarships for β€œdisruptive” student protestors, vaguely defined.

GA folks: call your state reps and tell them to vote NO on HB 602. action.cair.com/a/stop-hb-602

It is disrespectful to our ancestors to view history this way. When they came here they didn’t step into the land of opportunity. They found that there was no opportunity, only exploitation.

If you hear a historian talking about 19th century immigration to the States as an inspiring journey people took to build a better life yay America, THIS is a consensus historian and you should not listen to them. The focus should be on what people were running FROM, not to.

reflecting on the immunity decision a bit, what the Court seems to be saying is that every element of the executive branch is at the President’s disposal, no matter what he wants to use it for. his motives don’t matter. the office is a weapon to be wielded however he sees fit.
