Weekly Digest: Aug 12th

Hi y’all!!!

As we roll into the school year, CJAA is looking forward to building with y’all. Be on the lookout for events from us! 

Local Happenings

Unsurprisingly, Robert E. Lee is now UNC’s permanent chancellor. There’s a lot of things that can be said, but this UNC SJP post is a good look into why the university functions the way it does.  

Earlier today, people gathered in Durham for a vigil honoring Heather Heyer, Sonya Massey, Philando Castile, Garrett Foster, Nyah Mway and all victims of facist, police violence. Today was the 7th anniversary of Charlottesville.
