A Call To Action, As you have probably heard, on July 26th, Tri-Delta and Alpha Delta hosted a Bloods and Crips Party at Alpha Delta. Our peers mingled for hours while dressed as bloods or crips while using racialized language. Over 200 individuals attended this racist and classist event. We are asking everyone who stands for an inclusive Dartmouth to let your voice be heard. Please report this as a bias incident using this link: https://publicdocs.maxient/reportingform.php?DartmouthCollege&layout_id=3 You can report anonymously, but names will make the report more personal, more powerful. It takes 5 minutes and will make a powerful statement about this demeaning, degrading and outrageous event. We are asking everyone to flood the bias incident account with our call for justice, right now. Today we are dealing with a gang party, tomorrow it will be a Native American-themed party, and soon after a Latino-themed party. Students of Color are not respected on this campus, and enough is enough. The College has yet to deliver consequences to the aforementioned organizations, so we have to declare their lack of response as not only unacceptable but as disregard for our experiences. Organizations across campus will be mobilizing for further steps. Reporting with the above link is our first step toward meaningful changes. Dartmouth will live up to its ideals, La Alianza Latina, Afro-American Society, Dartmouth Chapter of the NAACP, & Women of Color Collective
