The Texas Journal on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights stands with the Black Lives Matter movement. We stand in solidarity with those fighting for Black liberation and justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Mike Ramos, Javier Ambler, Oluwatoyin Salau, Robert Fuller, Malcom Harsch, and countless others who have been murdered, brutalized, and denied justice by the white supremacist state.

We call on the Texas Law Review and other journals at Texas Law to join us in reopening and modifying their Spring 2020 write-ons. We call on administrators at Texas Law to reject the presence of UTPD in the law school.
