Join the Cultural and Resource Centers for a week-long series of events focusing on confronting anti-Blackness. Each program is a space for intra-community discussions ending with a larger coalitional/inter-community space/dialogue/workshop of how we all are responsible for resisting anti-Blackness.

** Anti-blackness definition: Anti-Blackness is the personal, cultural, social, legal, and structural devaluing and disenfranchisement of people racialized as Black. Whether intentional or not, anti-Blackness ultimately serves to uphold a system of white supremacy through oppressive policies, institutions, and ideologies.

Join us in a collective event to share back what we have learned during the week as well as how we can go forward in building coalitions across communities. Victoria Agunod, adjunct professor and alum, will facilitate the Campus Action Project to help us develop skills and learn tools to combat anti-blackness individually and collectively through action. The Campus Action Project is a facilitation that focuses on how students can engage in activism on campus and gives examples of what activist groups have organized in the past.
