Community Safe Space
Healing Space for Baton Rouge, St.Paul, Brooklyn, & Dallas
Location
The Commons : Women's Center
Date & Time
July 13, 2016, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Description
Following the most recent and ongoing events in Baton Rouge, St. Paul, Brooklyn, Dallas and elsewhere in our nation, Student Life's Mosaic Center and the Women’s Center will be offering a safe space discussion on Wednesday, July 13th from 12-1pm in the Women’s Center.
This safe space is not intended to be an open discussion or debate. Rather, this is an opportunity to provide intentional healing and supportive space for the UMBC community to process and share their thoughts, emotions, and reactions as related to racism, institutionalized violence, and anti-Blackness.
We ask and encourage the voices and experiences of Black lives to be centered in these conversations and that you come with an open heart and mind as we process these challenging emotions of hurt, pain, anger, and sorrow together as a UMBC community.
For further information, contact womens.center@umbc.edu or mosaic@umbc.edu. The Women's Center is located on the ground floor of The Commons.

Please Note: An additional safe space is being planned by UMBC's Nation Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) for Thursday, July 14th at 7pm. All are welcomed to attend this space in an effort to grieve, talk, and propose solutions through an open discussion regarding Black Lives Matter. Location: Sherman Hall, Rm. 003 (Lecture Hall 4).
