Standing Up for Unity & Solidarity: Post-Election Community Forum
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Stoico/FIRST FED Charitable Foundation Grand Reading Room
- Contact: Unity House
- Description: This forum is designed to assure support for and unity with those members of our campus who feel targeted, afraid, or further marginalized after the election. We want to provide a safe space for students who would like to share their voices of support and/or offer ideas for taking action to challenge racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamaphobic, behavior on campus.
The forum will also guide students on how to model civil discourse, so that even when students have differing opinions, values, or political beliefs, they can find a way to communicate about them from a position of civility.
The forum will begin at the Peace Pole (near Centennial Way/Residential Dining) and a procession will commence to the Stoico/FIRSTFED Charitable Foundation Grand Reading Room. All faculty, students, and administrators are welcome to attend this important forum.
If you are interested in speaking, please contact Courtney Beggs: cbeggs@umassd.edu
