The call to action, which was sent out as an email to all students on Oct. 2., was orchestrated by ASLMU President Hayden Tanabe. The document is the first time such a statement has been produced since March 2016, according to Tanabe. “This is truly a human issue that we should come together to take action and be with and for those communities at the margins,” said Tanabe. “Now more than ever it’s time to mobilize.
