We, CLIFS, the Community for Low-Income and First-Generation Students at Smith College, are in solidarity with student activists of Organizing for Survivors - O4S at Swarthmore College who are currently occupying a fraternity house to protest the college's continuous inaction regarding the sexual violence that takes place in fraternity spaces. As marginalized students, we are in solidarity with all struggles of all marginalized peoples. We encourage other students, faculty, staff and organizations at Smith College to be in solidarity with this movement.

"So many first-generation college students, lower-income students and students of color had to overcome entrenched inequalities to apply to college, often with minimal help. And, once on campus, they often were told they didn’t really belong. Meanwhile, the people indicted last week supposedly decided that wealth and privilege weren’t enough; they allegedly added bribes, faked tests and forged athletic credentials. If these allegations are proved true, these parents literally did steal seats at good schools, the age-old charge against minority students."

Poor and minority students are used to being told we've stolen someone else's spot.
