"...It is hard for me to understand a culture that not only hates an fights his brothers but even attacks nature and abuses her... for man must love all creation or he will love none of it. Man must love fully or he will become the lowest of the animals. It is the power to love that makes him the greatest of them all…for he alone of all animals is capable of love. ... Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. We must have it because without it we become weak and faint. Without love our self esteem weakens. Without it our courage fails. Without love we can no longer look out confidently at the world. Instead we turn inwardly and begin to feed upon our own personalities and little by little we destroy ourselves..."
- Chief Dan George
(Chief of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, a Coast Salish band whose Indian reserve is located on Burrard Inlet in the southeast area of the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.)

LEAD Mental Health Resource Sheet
|
|
The Town Hall is to hear student concerns during these unprecedented times. We have invited the President of De Anza College, the senior administration, and representatives from different campus resources to address and answer any questions from the students.
We will also have an open discussion about what students need and what more should be done to address problems in our community and what can be done to fight for social justice.

Noncredit Courses and Certificates
|
|
These noncredit classes won’t count toward an academic certificate, degree or university transfer. But for some students, these courses can be an affordable way to extend, or begin, their college education.
Students apply to De Anza and register for noncredit courses by following the same process used for credit courses. Noncredit students attend classes with credit students, and are expected to complete the same coursework and other requirements.
Some programs will also offer noncredit certificates that students may find helpful in seeking employment or job advancement. The Automotive Technology Department now offers noncredit certificates of completion in Automotive Chassis Technology, General Service Technician and Smog Technician. Noncredit courses are now listed with numbers from 300-399 in the college catalog and class schedule.

The DACA program was created by the Obama administration in 2012 to protect the young immigrants, known as Dreamers, who have been living in the country without legal permission since childhood, and has been the subject of legal battles for the past three years.
What does this mean for current DACA recipients and those eligible to apply?
-- The memo making DACA renewals only 1 year instead of 2 years is now invalidated
-- The memo saying that new applicants cannot apply for DACA is now invalidated
-- Advance parole should be restored to 2012 terms

BIPOC & White Supremacy in the Workplace

The normalization of a certain pattern of behaviors that have negatively affected the society as a whole but that especially have literally devastated BIPOC communities is so blatantly displayed, as any normalized pattern, that it is very difficult for us BIPOC to identify those patterns. We just know that they make us feel uncomfortable, that we don’t like them, but don’t know exactly why as ‘it is the norm’. In our fight for survival we, BIPOC, have even learned to display those same patterns to our own detriment and to the detriment of our communities. Those patterns or behaviors conform to a phenomenon so pervasive, so ‘natural’ that we seldom stop to review and analyze it let alone call it for its name: white supremacy. While white supremacy is a global phenomenon it has a special and unique ‘flavor’ in the US and Especially in the workplace. As BIPOC it behooves us to learn to identify how this phenomenon operates in the workplace. Identifying and being able to put a name to issues is the first step in addressing those issues. During this workshop attendees will learn to identify some of the most pervasive white supremacy patterns in the workplace by using a simple yet accurate analysis tool from Dismantling Racism: A Workbook for Social Change Groups, by Kenneth Jones and Tema Okun, ChangeWork, 2001. Note that at the end of the workshop we will review several strategies and actions that we all can take to heal the trauma caused by white supremacy. However, this workshop won’t address how to report this phenomenon as this is the subject of other workshops

In this free webinar, you will learn from an expert panel on how to keep students motivated during remote learning and how to intervene in the digital divide.
