<Tagline>Voter suppression of POC as a major threat to democracy</Tagline>

    <div><span>The 2020 election is officially over and Joe Biden has been inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States, yet over half of the Republican party continue to question the election results. As unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud fueled by Trump and his supporters dominate the headlines, I argue that voter suppression of Black and Latinx voters should instead be foregrounded as a major threat to democracy. This research will examine voter suppression in presidential elections using content analysis of newspaper and scholarly articles. First, I will compare incidents of voter suppression found in the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections to evaluate the effects of the 2013 Shelby County v Holder decision which rendered some sections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 unconstitutional. Next, I will evaluate incidents of voter suppression in the 2020 election. Lastly, using scholarly work, law reviews, and policy proposals, I will analyze ways to protect the right to vote. This research bridges the fields of American Studies and Political Science by evaluating the topics of voting and elections through a humanities lens to bring a greater understanding of how voter suppression affects the citizens of our democracy.</span></div>

<Title>UMBC's 2021 Virtual Sexual Assault Awareness Month</Title>
<Tagline>We see you. We believe you. You matter.</Tagline>

    <div class="html-content">
    <span><p><span><strong>Sexual Assault Awareness Month</strong> brings people together to create and generate discussion and skill-building on how to prevent sexual violence in our schools, workplaces, and communities. While providing support and care to survivors of sexual violence is an everyday action, this awareness month also carves out intentional moments to honor and believe survivors’ stories and experiences. 
    
    </span></p>
    <p><span>We are saddened that for another year in a row that the pandemic has impacted our ability to physically come together this April to do this critical work. The <a href="https://womenscenter.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Women’s Center</a> and all of our campus partners including the <a href="https://oei.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Office of Equity and Inclusion</a>, <a href="https://uhs.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University Health Services</a>, the<a href="https://counseling.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> Counseling Center</a>, <a href="https://conduct.umbc.edu/programs/what-is-green-dot/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Green Dot</a>, <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/webelieveyou" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">We Believe You</a>, and <a href="https://courage.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retriever Courage</a>, and more will nonetheless continue to promote awareness and prevention this month. </span><span>We are inviting our UMBC community to join our efforts.</span></p>
    <h5>
    <span><br></span><span><strong><em><u>Take Back the Night 2021 has moved online!</u></em></strong></span>
    </h5>
    <p><span>TBTN is one of the largest events the Women's Center hosts every year. To honor this special event that centers survivors stories and healing and invites our community to dismantle rape culture, we created a <strong><a href="https://www.umbc.edu/tbtn/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">virtual TBTN experience</a>.</strong> We invite our community to visit this platform and engage in the visual and audio content. Spend time alone or with others sitting with the reflection questions and action items. Share your thoughts on social media using #UMBCtbtn. </span></p>

    <p><span><em>The events, activism, discussions, support, and stories that stem from Sexual Assault Awareness Month are some of the Women’s Center’s most significant and special. It's challenging to lose these events and the community they create for a second year in a row. It's okay to grieve Take Back the Night and our other annual traditions. We are alongside you in that grieving process, and we hope that in these extraordinary times, we can continue to act with extraordinary compassion and conscientiousness to prevent sexual violence at UMBC and beyond.</em></span></p>
    <strong><br></strong><p><span><strong>And, remember, no matter where you are, dear survivors, we see you. We believe you. You matter. Always.</strong></span></p>

<Title>An Open Processing Space on Anti-Asian Violence</Title>
<Tagline>A supportive brave space for students [repost]</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><br></p>
    <p><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/themosaic/events/93268" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">To view original post click here</a></p>
    <p>Over the past year, the violence against the Asian and Asian American community has significantly increased, specifically with targeted violence to East and South East Asians. This anti-Asian climate cultivated an environment that resulted in a brutal mass murder two weeks ago that targeted Asian-owned businesses and resulted in eight people killed, six of whom were Asian women. The growing number of hate crimes and bias incidents impacting Asian communities are echoes of a long history of xenophobia and systemic racism. </p>
    <p>Please join us virtually on <strong>Friday, April 2nd from 3:00-4:00pm EST,</strong> as we are holding a processing and healing space for Asian and Asian American students and their allies. All are welcome and encouraged to join in whatever mode they feel most comfortable with (i.e. video on or off, muted/unmuted, chat only, etc.).</p>
    <br><p>This will be a student-centered space for finding words to describe our experiences on the impact of the violence in Atlanta and the exacerbated anti-Asian climate over the past years and historically, listening to each other’s stories, and advancing community connection through solidarity and coalition. </p>
    <br><p>The beginning portion of this program will be a larger community dialogue and then we will hold breakout rooms for affinity groups (e.g.,breakout rooms for Asian and Asian American identified communities members and for Allies). </p>
    <br><p>A link for this meeting will be via Google Meets. You must be signed in to a Gmail account and/ or your UMBC email in order to access the meeting. </p>
    <br><p>Or </p>
    <br><p>Join by phone</p>
    <br><p>1-956-752-6434 </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>PIN: 559 259 736#</p>
    <br><p>PLEASE NOTE: This brave space is not intended for debate or therapy. Rather, this event is meant to provide intentional supportive space for UMBC community members to process and share their thoughts, emotions, and reactions. </p>
    <br><p>UMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all students, staff, faculty, and visitors. If you have difficulties accessing any of the materials on our site or any of our events or discussions, please contact us so that we can provide an alternative format and/or remedy any accessibility challenges.</p>
    <br><p>For more information, please email us at <a href="mailto:i3b@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">i3b@umbc.edu</a> or  <a href="mailto:womenscenter@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">womenscenter@umbc.edu</a> </p>
    <br><p>This solidarity space is a collaborative partnership between Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion, and Belonging (i3b), Women’s Center, Counseling Center, Asian &amp; Asian American Faculty &amp; Staff Council (AAAFSC) and UMBC student leaders. </p>
