Dear Lafayette College...

We Are The Future:

A Black-led student coalition at Lafayette College, dedicated to fighting systemic racism and discrimination on College Hill. As scholars, student leaders, and abolitionists, our goal is to dismantle any system that does not promote the true equality and equity of all persons regardless of race.

Our Movement

Dear Lafayette College is dedicated to the eradication of racism on College Hill through the immediate implementation of Five Central Demands. Though these are not the only demands to achieve our goals, if they are not achieved then there cannot be Black liberation at Lafayette College and beyond this institution.

​

The Five Central Demands as followed:​

  1. Not Restorative, but Transformative Justice, and Community Accountability

  2. End of Surveillance and Criminalization within institutional Education

  3. Abolishing the Housing Tier System that Restricts BIPOC Quality of Life

  4. Invest in Community Care, Not Institutional Power

  5. Demilitarize and Defund Campus Police

 

As a growing coalition, we divide our time and efforts so that we can truly invest in each call to action.
