​​

  • Install placards and markers to respectfully identify the enslaved gravesites that exist across campus, under buildings.

​​

  • Set an official timeline on designing and executing prominent GU272 memorialization on-campus. This must launch within the first six months of our presidency. 

​​

  • Demand Georgetown University moves forward on the recommendations provided by the Working Group on Slavery, Memory, and Reconciliation that have yet to be addressed.

​​

  • Require immediate action on the proposed, administrative initiative to support community-based projects with Descendant communities. Once implemented, this initiative must have resources commensurate with or exceeding the amount that would have been raised annually through the student fee proposed in the Referendum (as promised by President DeGioia).​
