University of Utah- Voices of Diversity VOD

University of Utah- Voices of Diversity VOD Our group exposes the inequities and marginalization of oppressed groups. VOD works toward a greater understanding and advocacy for social justice issues.

Purpose of Group
This is a group of students who are interested in providing support, resources, and information to all students, particularly students of color and international students, who are interested in promoting understanding and social justice in the various areas we call diversity. They also support students of color and international students in navigating the challenges of successfull

y obtaining their goals of higher education. VOD holds monthly meetings to facilitate dialogue and strategies which will translate into action. Regular emails regarding diversity issues, functions, and events are sent to VOD members. These emails are collaborative efforts with various organizations and institutions from across the state. VOD students regularly inform other students about the organization and recruit by word of mouth. As a panel member, lecturer, and presenter at various functions on and off campus, Irene M. Ota, the advisor, announces and makes students aware of VOD.

Hello everyone,

Now that the official annoucement has been made this is what will happen.

1. Hold an emergency conference call for all DREAMERS, EUC members, allies, and activists to confirm all actions that we will take locally. The call will take place at 10 am today. The number to call is (712) 775-7031, meeting ID: 354-350-283 # This call is closed to the media.
2. Have a press conference at 12:00 pm on the steps of the Utah State Capitol. We are looking for faith, academia, government, business, and law enforcement leaders to join us and share a message of support at the press conference.
3. Have a community vigil at 6:30 pm at Centro Civico Mexicano (155 S 600 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84101). We want to provide a safe space for families and youth to come together, ask questions, and simply find moral support from others. The Consulate of Mexico will be providing immigration attorneys who will be available to answer individual questions people may have and screen for other types of immigration relief. The R**e Recovery Center will have behavioral health specialists at this event. Thank you!
This event will be closed to law enforcement and the media.
Please share this with other community groups/activists.

We must stay together and strong!
