Campus & Community Post-Election Day Virtual Events & Talk Spaces
KCSB News has compiled a list of post-election day events and talk spaces, to help you process the results of the election in a safe, community environment. More information about each event is included below.
The Day After – presented by the MCC & Academic Affairs
Wednesday, Nov. 4th 6-7:30 PM
Four years ago students, staff, faculty, and community members gathered in Corwin Pavilion to discuss Donald Trump’s election as 45th President of the United States. Four years later the United States is on the brink of civil insurrection, as Covid-19, systemic racism, particularly anti-Black racism, and crippling climate change have devastated the country. In his last book before he was assassinated Dr. King asked “Where do go from here – chaos or community?” What will happen after Election Day? Will the country continue to slide toward racial hostility and authoritarianism or will movements like Black Lives Matter, the Me Too movement, and other social justice movements push for much needed social change? Regardless of who wins, much work will be left to be done after November 3.
