The Black Student Union presents “More than Four: The 4 Point Platform”. The link to read the full platform is in our bio. Please read, repost, and like to amplify the platform. We will be hosting a public address tonight at 6pm to discuss the platform.
Support the Black Student Union through our weeklong fundraising campaign. Stay tuned for ways to donate. Link is in our bio!
If you cannot attend in person but would like to join we are live on our instagram and we have a zoom open!
For the link to the zoom sign up with the url in the flyer :))))
Join the BSU for a tactile and visionary analysis of the University system through our teach in session on February 20th from 4:30-6pm. We encourage all that are able to register and bring a friend!
Want to support the MORE THAN FOUR platform? Here are a few ways to get involved!
•Spreading the message of our platform to classes and orgs
•Help put up posters around campus
•Reading and understanding our 4 tenets
Not even 24 hours after launching our platform our posters have been torn down. This demonstrates the continued display of disregard for Black students which is allowed due to the University’s lack of attentiveness, responsiveness, and actionable steps to combat anti-Blackness.

We unequivocally support @THEBSU’s 4 Point Platform and encourage everyone to attend their Public Address at 6 pm tonight! The University of Michigan is and has been actively hostile toward the wellbeing of Black students not only in A2 but all its campuses and across the state.

We fully support BSU and the generations of Black students who fought to increase Black enrollment at UM for over 50 years. Low enrollment numbers show that despite DEI pledges, UM remains systemically & stubbornly anti-Black. Regents, make good on your 1970 promise to get to 10%
@Dr_Vitti we encourage your support on our platform that addresses the current flaws within higher education, specifically the University of Michigan, and the social responsibility institutions as such have to the investment in K-12 education.
In failing to use their power to the system, UM is an active perpetrator of systemic racism and inequity.
The university only puts forth initiatives relating to DEI that can coexist with their pre-existing values.

The elitist values of the university result in exclusionary practices that further perpetuate the inequities that Black students face.
Our Black student population has steadily decreased since 2013 and will continue to decrease unless we take action.
