Solidarity Cabinet's mission is to promote Christ-centered diversity through Biblical justice and anti-racist education, as well as to support collaborative student programming that provides space for race-based advocacy, learning, and community building.
Learning
- Provide resources and guidance for students seeking to understand Christ-centered diversity and antiracism.
- Facilitate dialogue between students, faculty, and staff about privilege and oppression.
- Highlight the histories of minority groups on campus.
Lament
- Practice regular lament for incidents of racism - both individual and systemic.
- Acknowledge our own, our campus's, and our nation's racial passiveness towards marginalized communities.
- Respectfully affirm, believe, and listen to minority students' stories and histories.
Activism
- Speak against practices or policies on campus that promote inequities and seek opportunities to converse actively and partner with institutional leaders to initiate change.
- Invite students to actively engage in activities that promote equity on campus and in society.
- Provide opportunities for allyship between White students and minority student groups.
Celebration
- Embrace diversity of experience and culture within a unified church body.
- Collaborate with other organizations on campus to amplify minority voices, cultures, and lived experiences.
Solidarity Cabinet's vision is to cultivate bridged and safe spaces where students can engage in Christ-centered diversity—together, lamenting and repenting of racial injustice, exploring individual racial identities, advocating for marginalized communities, and celebrating diverse experiences and histories as a united body of Christ.
