Hi all,
I just wanted to add - the idea for a collage was made by a small group of
us, including cowfolk and others, in a whatsapp chat (it wasn't decided in
any official club way). It's not set in stone and open to feedback,
suggestions or alternatives. We just thought it would be a nice visual way
of showing our support for this struggle and to acknowledge the fact that
this happens here in the UK too. What do folks think?
Cheers,
Sal x

Dear Cows
I hope you are all ok in these times of trouble.
The cow committee are planning some fundraising and anti racism awareness
raising stuff soon, but in the meantime there is a protest on College Green
at 2pm on Sunday to stand in solidarity against the systematic and
institutional racism in the this country as well as the US.

Message from Sal:
For those who aren't on facebook, I posted this a couple of days ago:
As this is really in the public eye right now, a few of us had the idea of
making a collage of photos of as many of us as possible holding a sheet of
paper with the name of a POC who has been killed in police custody,
especially here in the UK. As the list is hundreds long (or more!) it may
get so big that you can't read the names any more, but I think that only
adds to the point.
We're collating a spreadsheet of names. Please add to it if you can and/or
pick a name, write your name next to theirs and then take a photo of
yourself holding an A4 sheet of paper with their name on in front of your
chest, like a mug shot. Then send it to me.
