Growing Social Justice at X : Mi’kmaq Circle
When: Monday, September 14, 7:00 PM ADT
Where: Zoom
We are inviting all Mi’kmaw / L’nu people with a connection to Coady, StFX and the surrounding area to join us. The Coady Chair in Social Justice (CCSJ) is a program aimed at engaging StFX University, Coady International Institute and local communities in issues of social justice. Since 2012, this fund has been used to host seven esteemed local and global social justice activists to share stories, to help build right relationships within and among our diverse communities, to examine our strengths, challenges, and obstacles to build foundations for just futures.
We are at a potent time in the world. The COVID 19 pandemic and the global surge in Black and Indigenous Lives Matter movements are bringing important conversations to the surface. As social inequities and systemic racism everywhere are being brought into focus. How we engage in Social Justice now has profound possibilities for the future. This CCSJ Committee has been stepping back to reimagine together what could be. We are asking:
How can the CCSJ best support justice in Mi’kma’ki?
Please join us on zoom.
