 in recognition of the unique impact of George Floyd's murder and the subsequent protest movement on Black students, staff, faculty, and administrators within our WA community and technical college system.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

 best contribute? How you can meaningfully support change on your campus and across the state?  The Black Support and Solidarity Work Group is planning a statewide forum on Wednesday, July  29th from 10:00-12:00 to provide an avenue to help you answer those

 concerns of Black faculty, staff and administrators in the Washington CTC system, and to identify, elevate and commit to implementing the variety of strategies and policy changes necessary to combat anti-Black racism on our campuses and in our communities.
