Monday, November 6th 2023 will be the second annual Black Solidarity Day:
Social Justice Teach-In
<https://www.plattsburgh.edu/news/news-archive/black-solidarity-day-officially-added-to-suny-plattsburghs-academic-calendar.html>
at SUNY Plattsburgh.


On that day our campus will host a Social Justice Teach-In, featuring
programming for the Plattsburgh community about community collaboration,
advocacy and activism, social, racial and environmental justice. It will be
a series of concurrent events, led by students, staff, faculty, and
community groups, held all over campus. The theme for this year is: "You
Belong: Let's Erase the Hate."


This is a day to meditate on the meaning of social justice and civic
engagement in what could be a multi-racial democracy. Black Solidarity Day
is meant "to highlight racial injustices, societal inequities, and to
illuminate how Black voices are integral to American life

and our college community. We encourage you to plan to incorporate that day
into your syllabus or work schedule and consider re-assigning your classes
or employees to participate in the event.


Please talk with your friends, mentors, and colleagues, and then propose a
session. Student-led sessions are welcome! The deadline for proposals is
September 30th.
