Hi everyone! This is Alex checking in again. 

First, I'd like to really thank Maria Carrasco for writing this article for Inside Higher Ed. Here's the article: https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2021/10/19/st-mary%E2%80%99s-college-students-stage-sit-lgbtq-rights

(Also thanks to Sonder for reaching out to them in the first place!)

Secondly tonight we had presence at the SGA meeting through the student speak out (thanks Sam and Baz!) and alongside the passed resolution in support. More to come later about this :)

Third, I'd like to generally clarify a lot of information and I'm going to be updating the bio of the petition with this. We are currently awaiting the Steps of Accountability to be approved in order for this sit in to officially be considered finished. This basically includes all the compromises we've made over all of the demands. Sam, Baz, and I have a meeting with President Jordan tomorrow (10/20) to discuss this.

I'm linking the google folder again here as it includes the steps alongside an explanation of everything (yes, including the Kelsey Bush information) and the letter from 2014 demanding almost exactly the same things. It also includes photos and footage.

The only footage missing is the President Tuajuanda Jordan mediation video, which is linked here

For those wanting to still help, just know this is a waiting game. The best we can do now is reach out to people (such as reporters!) with information about us and share share share the petition. Thank you all so much, it's very appreciated.

And, if you ever want to reach out to me directly, my email is arclay@smcm .
