To our readers,
The Her Campus at Manhattan team is writing today to address the growing division in our country and serve as an outlet for those interested in being part of the change. On behalf of the Her Campus Media organization at large, we are supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. Her Campus is an organization built on inclusivity and we strive to support and lift each other up.
We are thankful to have a platform that allows us to address topics such as this and speak up on issues that matter not only to our students, but to the world at large. We aim to use our power for the greater good and give a voice to the voiceless. Now is not the time to stay silent and we plan to use our platform to educate, support, and work towards creating a better future.
We, as an inclusive community, offer our support and stand in solidarity with the Black community and marginalized groups. Her Campus Media has compiled a list of resources if you’re looking to contribute to the cause. To organize and donate click here, for a list of donation sites click here, and to mobilize a student organization click here.
Lastly, we believe writing is a powerful tool for change. Your words matter. You are entitled to an opinion. We want Her Campus to be a platform for you. If you feel compelled to do so, send in opinion pieces regarding this topic because we believe your voice should be heard.
Enough is enough. We hear you, and we stand with you.
With love,
The Her Campus at Manhattan Team
