Have a great Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Day!
We, the SGA, wholeheartedly hope that you have a delightful break enjoying time off from school (especially after the hectic, incessant midterm season), spending time with loved ones, and eating good food. May this break bring you a sense of repose, and remember that there is less than a month left of this semester- we’re almost there!
That being said, however, we must recognize the great history that comes with the holiday. Thanksgiving’s origins are a harrowing reminder of how Indigenous peoples continue to be treated in this country, and thus, we would like to further recognize and uplift Indigenous voices today and always. If you are interested in reading UMBC’s land acknowledgment, you can check out this page here. We also encourage you to continue to do your own research about the history of this land.
Have a SAFE break and we look forward to seeing you back on campus soon!
Yours in service,
The UMBC Student Government Association

In response to last week's hate-based incidents
A follow-up to our previous posts
Early last week, we shared a post responding to an incident of hate and bias toward a Muslim student on our campus by reaffirming our value and commitment of radical love and belonging. Friday, we were working quickly to speak out against yet another incident of hate and bias on our campus, only to find out that we did not have the full story. Not only did the incident include anti-Black slurs, but also a targeted verbal attack on a Black student, and comments referencing LGBTQ+ populations during a hacked zoom meeting. To be clear: these are examples of hate that do not belong on our campus.
In 2019, The Mosaic Center staff worked with campus community members to co-create a set of institutional commitments, one of them being “to intentionally disrupt systemic supremacy and supremacist behavior ….” Over the past week, we have been reminded of why these aspirations and commitments remain vital. As a community grounded in inclusive excellence, hate of any kind - in behavior, practice, or language - does not belong here. Hatred of another, simply because they are different is rooted in supremacist ideology, and not in cultural humility.
We stand in solidarity with all of our students, staff, and faculty at UMBC who live at the intersections of multiple marginalized identities. Continue to show up unapologetically in the fullness of your humanity. We see you. You belong here. You make UMBC complete.
Students in need of support can contact us at
i3b@umbc.edu. Students in need of community can always find us in the Mosaic Center (2B23 Commons), the Pride Center (201D University Center) and the Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being (103 Center for Well-Being). Community members, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni, who experience discrimination or harassment of any kind can report concerns using
this confidential reporting form.
We hope this upcoming break you can take the opportunity to find rest and rejuvenation. We also hope you pause in reflection on the things you are grateful for, along with the challenging history of Thanksgiving in the U.S. and the ongoing impact of oppression on Native communities. We offer this reminder that our existence is resistance and that “self-care is an act of political warfare” (Audre Lorde). We know that navigating daily instances of and impacts from various forms of oppression, can take a toll on one’s body, mind, and heart. We wish you all peace and rest in the break ahead.

SGA's Statement Against Incidents of Hate at UMBC
Good morning Retrievers,
In the wake of the two recent hate crime/bias incidents against members of our UMBC community, the Student Government Association would like to earnestly say that UMBC is not a university that embraces nor accepts hate. We stand firmly on our values, as an organization and university, of inclusivity and social justice.
The SGA is a dedicated partner with the Office of Equity and Inclusion, i3b, Retriever Integrated Health, and the Graduate Student Association to combat injustice and hate-based violence on campus. This work is housed within our two internal institutions, the Department of Diversity and Inclusion and the SGA Diversity and Inclusion Framework. Additionally, SGA and its partners all offer resources for reporting and healing following situations like this.
As a community, we should continue to honor the identities of our fellow Retrievers and provide inclusive spaces for one another.
We encourage everyone to join the Muslim Student Association, Student Government Association, Graduate Student Association, and i3b for a community care gathering for those that are in need of support. The community care gathering will be held at The Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being on Monday, November 22, 2021, at 12:30 p.m.
Yours in service,
The UMBC Student Government Association
Mehrshad Fahim Devin, SGA President
Joshua Gray, Executive Vice President
Hazel Amanze, Director of Diversity and Inclusion

Fall Harvest Dinner
Friends, Food, and Festivity!
| NOV 23 4 PMThe Commons : Skylight Room |
Dear graduate students,
The Graduate School at UMBC and the PROMISE program are partnering this year to host our Annual Fall Harvest Dinner and Networking event on Tuesday, November 23rd, 2021 from 4PM to 6PM in person on the UMBC campus in the Commons Building, 3rd floor, Skylight Room.
Wc call this even a Fall Harvest Dinner to celebrate all that has been planted, sowed, and harvested this past year -in reality and symbolically. Of course, our event occurs very close to November when many American families celebrate a "Thanksgiving" meal. The Thanksgiving tradition often includes sharing foord and verbal expressions of gratitude for what we have in our lives. Our PROMISE staff understands that this national holiday also has roots in a darker history, one of colonialism and the massacre of hundreds and thousands of indigenous Americans. Thus, we will be choosing to incorporate some non-traditional elements into out Fall Harvest celebration: we will pay our respects to the indigenous peoples of this land and their beautiful, deep connection to mother nature and celebrate the diversity of our community. We hope this time together will be an opportunity to connect with grad student from other departments and share a delicious dinner with our peers. We hope you are available to join us!
This year the number of participants will be limited due to COVID-19 protocol, please make sure to RSVP for the event. In addition, the dress code for this occasion is business casual and masks are required to enter the building and must be worn when not eating. Bring your ticket and student ID to enter the event!
It is possible that this event will sell out. Please check the reservation links provided to see if tickets are still available. Even if tickets are sold out, there is an option to be waitlisted for this event which can also be found using the reservation link.
Tickets can be reserved at

promise@umbc.edu.
Sincerely,
The PROMISE team

Community Care for those Impacted by Thursday's Cyberattack
Dear Graduate School Community
Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b) is offering a Community Care Space today, Friday the 19th, from 4-5 PM for any students that have been impacted by the hateful hacking attack during the GSA sponsored meeting on Thursday.
The i3b Mosaic Center, in Commons 2B23 will be open and holding space especially for you to drop-in and process this terrible experience.
The Graduate Student Association Executive Board

Amy Cruz, Treasurer
Akash Vartak, Historian
During a virtual meeting organized by the Graduate Student Association on Thursday, a malicious hacker carried out a virtual attack on the zoom meeting. The hacker was able to get complete control of the room and wrote anti-black hate speech on the presentation slide, espoused religious hate, and controlled the accounts of several attendees to make it appear as though they were saying racist and homophobic things.
The hacker also targeted one graduate student in particular with anti-black hate speech using direct messages.
The Graduate Student Association stands behind the victims of this hack, especially the student that appears to have been targeted by their vile actions. We also stand behind the Black Graduate Student Organization and support their advocacy of black graduate students that have to deal with these repeated traumas.
Students who may have been negatively affected by the hackers homophobic statements can also reach out for support to the i3b's Pride Center through Lucy Delgado (
ldelgado@umbc.edu).
As organizers of the event we feel tremendous sadness and responsibility for what has occurred. The GSA is working with university offices to seek justice, prevent this from occurring again and support all those affected.
The GSA condemns the continuing rise of hate and is here to remind students of the
resources available to support us. We look forward to coming together soon to offer a space for community support. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to us to let us know how we can best support you.
