American University Student Council Class Of 2023

Join us on Sunday at 8 PM EST for an extra absurd movie night! Backstroke of the West is a machine-translated version of Revenge of the Sith, dubbed over by original voice actors, and is definitely the best version of any prequel to date. If you need a break from schoolwork and all the stresses of the world right now, bring your friends along and let's all have a laugh!

We stand in solidarity with all survivors, and demand that the university do better.

This means that when we say Black Lives Matter, we mean more than just a Hashtag. Black Lives Matter is a movement demanding an end to the devaluation of Black people as human beings. We will continue to call out injustice, both on campus and off.

With Solidarity,
Class Council 2023
