Lunch & Learn:  A Change of Heart & Mind:  Expanding Your Activism In the Wake of #BlackLivesMatter

​

This discussion highlights individuals who have recently become involved in the fight against racial injustice through active external actions or effective internal change. Focusing on individuals whose first time protesting or marching was in response to the recent cases of police brutality and misuse of power, we will also dive into discussions around silence and what it means to be silent in times where racial injustice is visible and embedded within our institutions.
