Queer people came out in force on Saturday in front of Stonewall Inn to protest members of the Trump administration like Betsy Devos and Mike Pence

Despite Republican arguments that Trump is in favor of gay rights, Trump has expressed support for the First Amendment Defense Act, which lets businesses decline to serve people for religious reasons. The rally also drew attention to Trump’s cabinet as some of “the most anti-LGBT nominees and appointees in modern history.“

dear trans students:

in light of the recent news abt the crusty orange repealing the amendments that would protect u, pls hear my words: it will be okay. we will fight and keep fighting to bring those amendments back, or an even better one. u are important and so is ur safety. u have every right to tell a teacher or a counselor or someone u trust abt ur concerns and fears. pls talk to each other, love each other, and hold hands; just sit tight! ur not alone and nothing real can be threatened

Resistance can take many forms - from education to litigation, from within a small community to throughout the globe. Though I have omitted highly important figures like Yuri Kochiyama and Fred Korematsu, I wanted to spotlight lesser-known individuals who resisted injustice in a variety of ways. They demonstrate that we too can act against oppression and inequality, however we are able.

A 5-day summer school will be offered at Tufts University from August 7-11, 2017, with the principal purpose of training mathematicians to be expert witnesses for court cases on redistricting and gerrymandering.

Topics covered in the summer school will include:

the legal history of the Voting Rights Act and its subsequent renewals, extensions, and clarifications;

an explanation of “traditional districting principles,” especially compactness;

a course in metric geometry and mathematical ideas for perimeter-free compactness;

basic rudiments of GIS and the technical side of how shapefiles work;

training on being an expert witness;

ideas for incorporating voting and civil rights into mathematics teaching.

Some of the sessions in the summer school will be open to the public, and others will be limited to official participants. Partial funding for participants’ expenses will be available. The summer school is aimed at, but not limited to, people with doctoral training in mathematics. Preference will be given to those who can stay for the full week.

Applications will be accepted from February 15 – March 31.
