Columbia University Diverge From NYPD

The Issue

Demanding that Columbia immediately cease any partnership or contract with the New York City Police Department. Columbia has offered enough empty words about their commitment to supporting diversity and inclusion while doing nothing to end institutional anti-Blackness. There is no middle ground -- Black lives are being lost at the hands of police and you are complicit. We call for Columbia to diverge from the NYPD immediately and redirect the divested funds to support community-led education programs and alternatives to policing.
