Join us for a lunchtime event about how we can better support our Undocumented colleagues and students. We aim to create a brave space (the space right between the comfort zone and the trigger/danger area), where we can all hear each other with openness and grow together.

What? Better Ally Series - Undocumented Community
When? Thursday June 8th, 12-1:30pm PST
Where? Probably zoom (link sent out prior to event)
