The session will offer opportunities to get to know one another and build trust and connection across campus coalitions; show an ethic of care and love during this time; break out of silos; build capacity for this chapter of work toward racial justice; and center care for participants’ bodies. \nThe gathering will include a facilitated session for participants to learn about and discuss how to strengthen resistance through community\, with a focus on specific skills and practices for audaciously building community and connections during this time. To make the shared space more accessible for individuals with chemical sensitivities or chronic migraines\, attendees are asked to avoid perfumes\, colognes\, and strongly scented personal products. \nThese 2026 sessions are sponsored by the Anti-Black Racism Initiative\, the Division of Student Affairs\, the School of Public Health\, College of Information OACES\, TerrapinSTRONG Education\, the LGBTQ+ Equity Center\, the University Libraries\, and Bias Incident Support Services (BISS).
