Hey fellow grad students and supporters!

I just thought I'd share - in the few days that we've had this page (since Tuesday), we've gotten 89 likes, there are 167 Facebook users are talking about it, and we have a 3054 total weekly reach!!! If that doesn't say how important this issue is, I don't know what does.

Keep it up! Like we heard at the rally yesterday, we're all leaders in this struggle - and we are off to an incredibly strong start, thanks to everyone who has put their time and energy into making Binghamton University the type of premier public it SHOULD be - one that treats its students with equality and respect. Let's continue to push our administrators to follow suit. No university that actively creates inequality within its walls can claim to be premier of any kind.

If you haven't liked the page yet, please do!
