Village Demands #4

Thank you for participating in the Village Demands dialogue. Collectively, we have an opportunity to chart the course for the future of Black students, staff, and faculty in California. We are making powerful strides towards demanding equity and support. Let’s keep up the momentum for change! Your voice is needed and valued! We plan to reconvene on October 14, 2020, 12-1:30 p.m. The response from our initial meeting was powerful. We realize that there may have been those who were unable to join due to capacity challenges.
