The GDI constituency (not HQ) has been putting their chapters on hiatus as a move to both distance themselves from HQ, and to get HQ to respond with action to repair the damage it has caused. #gdistrike #causeascene 1/
It didn't quite work out as they wanted, given the letter today from Leanne. 2/ #gdistrike
HQ sent another missive, attached to @amlyhamm tweet above, which essentially says "FUCK YOU" to the very vocal constituency, not just chapter leaders, but members, teachers, mentors, and sponsors 3/ #gdistrike

We are writing you with heavy hearts to let you know we are closing the Dayton Chapter of Girl Develop It. This means that no new events or classes will be organized under the GDI Dayton name by the current leadership.
Recent events have transpired that have broken our trust as local leaders with the Girl Develop It national leadership team. We no longer feel that national leadership (@girldevelopit) is truly committed to the values of this organization.
Former GDI Program Director Shanise Barona, a black woman, recently spoke on the podcast #causeascene about discrimination and microaggressions that she experienced from members of the HQ team. You can listen to the full podcast episode at hashtagcauseascene.com/shanise-barona

As some of you following know, I've led this thing on Tuesday nights called "Toast & Tech" for about 3 years, nominally under the organization at .@GDImpls , the Minneapolis chapter of .@girldevelopit 1/
I have left that organization, but I want to leave behind something for those involved in T&T, and for those looking to make a space for learning that it inclusive 2/
The Tenants of Toast and Tech:
- make EVERYONE welcome, enthusiastically
- make ALL questions welcome, enthusiastically
- everyone is learning, everyone is teaching
- there is no single path, there are as many paths as people attending, as many paths as needed
