Hello All,
I am proud to report that our petition has more than doubled its signatures in 24 hours! It has been overwhelming that this petition has struck a chord with so many. Many of you have shared your comments and perspectives which have been powerful and often heartbreaking to read. Now that it is Monday, we will be contacting the UB administration. We will be asking them why they have neglected their student's needs, and why they deviated from other SUNY's in their choice to not provide health and wellness days. We will be asking them how they plan to ease this mental health emergency. Above all else: We will be telling them WE DESERVE A CHANGE!
So thank you again for signing this petition. Many of you have gone the extra mile of sharing this petition to group chats, social media, friends, and family members. Some of you have even chipped in so that change.org would give this petition wider exposure. For that, we sincerely thank you for your courage and your faith. We are excited to provide updates in the coming days. Until then, our most powerful asset is the signatures this petition can get. So please SHARE IT ALL OVER, I think now that we have over 1,300 supporters many who were originally skeptical may be more inclined to join in! Each of our supporters have been so integral to the success of this petition. Thank you again, everyone please take care of yourselves in these hard times.
LET'S GET TO 2,000 SUPPORTERS! Our mental well-being is not to be ignored. Students deserve a chance to catch up! The UB administration does not know how powerful our voices can be!
