From inner city Los Angeles to redwood trees, Tina Sampay, a Cal Poly Humboldt alum, self-published, “Slauson Girl: The Journey of a Black Journalist in South Central” earlier this year. When she’s not spending time with loved ones or nature, she can be found learning and engaging with her community.

Sampay’s memoir documents her lived experiences as a Black journalist navigating white institutions, while also engaging with themes of race, power, state-sanctioned violence and the ongoing marginalization of Black women’s voices. Sampay felt that it was necessary to build Black media as a counter-narrative highlighting voices who are often silenced.

Rick Toledo, a Cal Poly Humboldt student, was arrested Friday, March 6 at 1 a.m. by the University Police Department. He is currently being held under a Ramey warrant at the Humboldt County Correctional facility, according to the Humboldt County booking sheet.

As per the California Legislative Information, Ramey warrants allow officers to arrest individuals with probable cause without charging them with an official crime.

The booking sheet listed that Toledo was arrested for felony assault and battery, conspiracy and false imprisonment. El Leñador has not been able to verify if other students have been arrested.

This morning, on March 6 at 11 a.m. protestors began meeting at the courthouse to show their support for Toledo and demand his release.

El Leñador requested confirmation from the university for the number of students arrested due to involvement in the Nelson Hall sit-in. They said they could not provide that information due to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). El Leñador was unable to verify what led to Toledo’s arrest and if it was in connection with the sit-in.

About 20 protestors held a sit-in in the Goodwin Forum in Nelson Hall East from 11 a.m. Feb. 27, to 2 a.m. on Feb. 28, following a public forum in the SAC quad with Interim Vice President for Administration and Finance Mike Fisher.

Protestors committed to three demands: divestment from all ties to Israel, implementation of a sanctuary campus policy and solidarity with the Teamsters union strike. No arrests were made, the university told El Leñador that several individuals who occupied the building have been identified and the university will follow up with campus and legal processes. Some students have been notified of their suspensions and charges as of March 3.
