Pro tip: if you allow known predators in a space, the possibility of it ever becoming safe is vanished. CC @AlliedMediaConf

2) I contacted
#AMC2015's safety team about this man at around 11a this morning. Ten hours later, AMC has yet to confront him. -
3) As a result, I felt too unsafe to attend
#AMC2015 today. I had to be escorted to my workshop, and I disappeared soon afterward. -
4) In effect,
#AMC2015 is prioritizing this sexual predator over me, choosing to accommodate him rather than do the right thing. -
5) I've been attending
#AMC2015 for years—and I always believed that shit like this wouldn't happen. I feel naive and, frankly, betrayed. -
6) If you're a woman of color attending
#AMC2015, know that your safety is not a priority. This conference is like the rest of the world. -
7) I'm tweeting this bc I believe in holding
#AMC2015 accountable as the organization it claims to be, and also as a warning to young woc.

@aurabogado If there anything I can do to support you? Do you need a place to stay / be safe? -
@FatBodyPolitics Thank you so much! I'm safe at a place of famous. Bummed I'll be missing sessions tomorrow. -
@aurabogado Also know a lot of community folks who would help to actions if necessary. -
@FatBodyPolitics I really appreciate it. These tweets were my last effort—it felt shitty to open up only to have this result. -
@aurabogado tweets like this made me speak up when seeing predatory/racist/homofobic/... behavior. Having privilege brings responsibilities. -
@leovdd Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate it.

@aurabogado just seeing this tweet. Are you okay? -
@preescribe I'm ok in that I'm safe in my room off campus. Not ok in that I can't participate in AMC, while this man does. -
@preescribe Also, thank you. I appreciate you checking in.
