Afro-Latinx, Latinx, Indigenous People's Action Subcommittee
The Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous People's Action subcommittee aims to actively inform and support policies, practices, and behaviors fostering inclusive community-building to promote healing and wellness in our Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous communities. We will do this via the promotion of equitable, and collaborative work grounded in the rich traditions of resistance, liberation, and social justice from our Afro/Indigenous Latinx Communities.
Subcommitte Vision:
In the spirit of our Lasallian Catholic heritage we are committed to lifting the voices of historically marginalized communities from Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous backgrounds. We recognize that our communities are comprised of vast intersecting identities and cultures. We aim to actively inform and support policies, practices, and behaviors fostering inclusive community-building to promote healing and wellness in our Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous communities.
Charge:
The Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous Peoples Action Subcommittee demands accountability of Saint Mary’s College of California, as a community and institution, to recognize and address, rather than react to circumstances of inequitable treatment of
Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous students, staff or faculty particularly systemic racism at the institution. As such, the Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous Action Subcommittee exists to:
● Improve the quality of Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous students, faculty, and staff experiences on campus;
● Participate in actions and events dedicated to celebrating Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous identity in programs like Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous Peoples Heritage Month;
● Provide consultative support to the CCIE and to all College departments in service to the needs of Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous students, faculty, and staff of Saint Mary’s College, and in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and other marginalized groups.
As a subcommittee, the Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous Peoples Action Subcommittee will develop and make recommendations to the College Committee on Inclusive Excellence (CCIE) as well as provide direct support and advocacy on the following:
a. identify the opportunity gaps and call for changes in support of Afro-Latinx/Latinx/Indigenous Peoples graduate and undergraduate students’ academic and personal success, as well as promote and ensure a safe and welcoming College experience;
