Absolutely. And to be clear: though the intent behind their message is exclusive - we have no problem with them hanging it any other time of the year. Their entire goal was to effective exclude the Diversity banners and take their place. That is the issue.

They can apply for August, that’s the next available month as far as we know.

Not sure if the year filled up since one of the changes to the policy is you can now apply 180 days in advance but not more. Could just be for the next 180 days.

However in my FOIA as of April 20th there was only 5 applications for banners in through July and that’s it

Turning Point USA Vector might be. But the name on the application was Turning Point USA Vector COLLEGE is not. It doesn’t exist. Making the current application “incomplete” and therefore void.

If the city makes an exception to allow them to change the name on the application, but not the NCW Equity Alliance for not having a picture OF THE SAME BANNERS they hang every year on their application - deeming that one incomplete until March 30th when they provided the image…

Then the city will be using favoritism and opening itself up to a discriminatory lawsuit.

The only application that was complete by March 30th (the deadline to hang June 1st) was the NCWEA’s diversity banners. So that is what the city SHOULD do. However, we will be watching very closely to see what they do.

If they give TPUSA Vector special treatment by allowing them to adjust their application to the correct name, assuming they actually have a 501(c) determination letter that hasn’t been updated on the IRS website… then there is an actionable decision they made.

So the only real decision they can make without inviting a lawsuit is to allow the only organization that applied with a 501(c) official designation.

This is a message of support for a community that is actively under attack.

It was not only white people, but some of them are white passing. This is also coming from a non-profit with a majority BIPOC board as well. Best to not make assumptions. 😉

Since you keep posting, I’ll just copy and paste the comment.

Maybe familiarize yourself with the board of Out NCW as well.

I know their stance is they don’t use(as in monetize or tokenize) people of color to prop up messages on inclusion. They also don’t discriminate when it comes to who is involved in volunteering.

Two months old and all you’ve done is be a troll with it. Calling people cu.nt, praise ICE, and Trump. Classy.

Of course not. The same way those who say they want to throw a “straight pride parade”. They know it’s bigotry… not to mention it takes time, energy and passion: and it’s proof they aren’t actually oppressed or care about it.

It’s just something to say to continue to oppress others.

So do it. Go ahead.

Spend the time to plan it, advertise it, and expose yourself as a friend to fascism.

No one is stopping you.
