For those who are always living in a time of fracture

In our capitalist and male dominated society, women are left to be the most vulnerable. When trying to initiate change and while engaging in dialogue, we must consider that womxn of color specifically are the backbone of our society and that they are those who are constantly living in a time of fracture.

For those who are always living in a time of fracture

I feel as though this contribution is necessary to get other contributors/viewers to consider those who are most vulnerable really in any society. Once this shift in thinking is facilitated, then that's when we can truly begin to change as a society and give a seat to those who are most marginalized.

What would it look like if Rutgers valued diversity?

Rutgers University is the most diverse university in the USA, and it should federally advocate and lobby for its diversified students!

What would it look like if Rutgers valued diversity?

Diverse students at Rutgers notice how Rutgers Newark openly promotes its diversity yet fails to offer inclusive, safe spaces and resources.
