Black and Pink National is proud to support the release of ACLU's report, Policing Progress: Findings From A National Survey Of LGBTQ+ People's Experiences With Law Enforcement.
"Last fall, two Pennsylvania journalists uncovered the deaths of at least 25 people statewide in 2022—deaths that were kept off official records by the jails responsible for reporting them." Thank you for highlighting out work @verainstitute. vera.org/news/the-hidde…

I got an email today that Allegheny County Jail employees already feel fortified and more comfortable speaking with press and researchers. Go talk to them, Pittsburgh!

Hundreds of student protesters and community activists gathered in front of the Cathedral of Learning and William Pitt Union throughout Sunday evening for a march and subsequent rally in support of Palestine. pittnews.com/article/188523…
A few more images from the “encampment” at the University of Pittsburgh near the Cathedral of Learning. All is peaceful today and the tents are all still there and folks are making signs and it appears they are there for the duration. @PghProtests

Stopped by the University of Pittsburgh “encampment” this afternoon to see if it was still up and running and it’s still fully staffed and up. The hot temperatures today did not chase people away. And it is hot. The numbers seem lower but it’s early afternoon. It’s still alive…
"As I was covering a conference for Palestinian students, I was amazed by the warm level of appreciation among Palestinian students towards international students who are protesting in multiple universities calling for an end of this genocide. We hear you guys🌹" --@TareqAzzom
Protestors formed a human chain around the perimeter of the lawn to protect their comrades inside from the police. The Pitt encampment remained alive and steadfast for many hours into the night. From the river to the sea.🇵🇸❤️
After a clash with the police and the arrest of three protestors, the crowd overtook the lawn facing the Cathedral of Learning and set up tents. 2/3
Day 6 at the University of Pittsburgh’s Palestine encampment was phenomenal. Led by Pitt students, the community marched in the hundreds around the Cathedral of Learning, calling for Pitt to completely divest from the occupation. 1/3
📚 3 Books Incarcerated Writers Recommend All Students Read “The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together” by @hmcghee “Man’s Search For Meaning” by @ViktorFranklll “Salvation: Black People and Love” by bell hooks prisonjournalismproject.org/2023/08/10/3-b…
Class of 2024 balloons can be seen hanging from the tents at the pro-Palestine encampment in Pittsburgh. Many participants are Pitt students, and some are now graduates. Roughly 16 tents are still set up — and some are being taken down @TribLIVE

BAFFLING NEWS: local elected official wants community members to stop dying preventable deaths, advocates for proven solution
Today on KDKA of this video, Bethany Hallam said “who are these people hurting?” and also advocated safe places for them to do drugs, potentially have NARCAN standing by and be safe doing drugs. This is a county councilperson saying this. I’m baffled.
@colin_dunlap Imagine being baffled at an elected official saying “these people shouldn’t die, actually”

Tents are still set up here in Schenley Plaza in Pittsburgh as part of the pro-Palestine encampment that’s been going on for almost a week now. Some are packing up their stuff, however. Organizers said they’re still deciding whether they will stay or leave @TribLIVE

I want to be clear: these are BIG ASKS. If you're getting arrested, you are going to be extremely upset. It's hard to think about what to do. But if you can manage it, you will help yourself substantially.
If you're a university administration, is "UN special rapporteur weighs in" a good or a bad outcome
I'm hearing disturbing reports that students face suspension if they don’t end their peaceful protests in #Columbiauniversity in the USA. This is a clear violation of their right to peaceful assembly
Hundreds of student protesters and community activists gathered in front of the Cathedral of Learning and William Pitt Union throughout Sunday evening for a march and subsequent rally in support of Palestine. pittnews.com/article/188523…
