2/ A few key Black women from within the Science March led the hard work on steering change. They suffered but persevered. But White women took credit & used #WOC as shields for their inaction.
It is those Black women who deserve due support & acclaim. No one else. #marginsci
3/ #POC were sanctioned for the work we did to challenge diversity of SciMarch. Some of us could wear the controversy, but many others are students, postdocs & community organisers who risked a lot by organising counter marches & protesting publicly against SciMarch. #marginsci
4/ SciMarch organisers appropriated donations to the march, including to pay the unqualified White woman co-founder an executive salary.
Very few amongst the White masses that told #POC to stop "politicising" science raised a peep in response. But you were vocal in your racism.
5/ So in remembering SciMarch, uplift the voices of Black women and other #POC. Stop replicating the same issues in discussions & activities.
Critical thinking is the cornerstone of science. Reflect critically on your actions & inaction that contributes to exclusion then & now.
