NEW: More Perfect Union is opening up our newsroom, connecting with students everywhere, and equipping them with the tools needed to unrig our broken economic system.

.@AOC explains why it’s important to organize in person, not just online. “We are on the billionaires’ algorithms… but there are more of us than there are of them.”

.@AOC: “To me the idea that Flock cameras even exist is unconscionable. And I want to congratulate Ithaca on kicking Flock cameras out of your city.”

Everyone watch this!

.@AOC calls out Cornell University and shares her message to sexual assault survivors: “The fact that Jane Doe, that survivor, lost her education… and those men were protected by an institution and granted an Ivy League Education — never again.”

AOC says about 2 thousand people came to campus.

.@AOC: “The culture of rape, sexual assault, and pedophilia is protected in elite institutions across the United States and including Cornell University”

Our town hall with @AOC is absolutely packed, people are still piling in!

Head of More Perfect University @EliseJoshi: "Student power is an essential ingredient to actually building a world where everyday people actually have control over our government, our economy, and our lives."

NOW: @AOC is speaking with Cornell and Ithaca College students at our fourth Students vs Billionaires town hall, answering questions about the issues impacting them: from skyrocketing rent and tuition to the erosion of free speech.

Students for a Democratic Cornell: Billionaire trustees with stakes in weapons manufacturers, Big Oil, and pharmaceutical companies are doing everything they can to crush student movements.

Almost an hour until the event and it's already filling up.

The line for our Students vs. Billionaires Town Hall w/ @AOC is 🔥

For those digging into Cornell’s fucked up disciplinary system for the first time, you should know that students approached @Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff in May demanding democratic reform to our Code of Conduct. Kotlikoff responded by hitting two students with his car.

Abdul El-Sayed: “I feel like we need a Shit Lettuce Accountability Act. DOGE did have a consequence. You see it in the failure of our FDA to protect us from shit lettuce and the failure of our CDC to even count the number of people who are affected by shit lettuce. These corporations say leave it to us, we’ll enforce ourselves, and then 6K people get cyclosporiasis”

We just wrapped our 3rd and final Michigan campus town hall! Thank you to all UMich students who showed up tonight!

“I think one of the most important things you can do is prove that it is doable.” @abdulelsayed on garnering voters’ trust that change is possible without taking corporate donor money.
