(1) Pride Month Opportunity Drawing (Institute Wide)
From JP Bonadonna, Student Government Association
Happy Pride Month from KinsIHP and the SGA! While Pride Month is a time to celebrate, it is also a time for reflection. The queer liberation movement was sparked in part by the Stonewall Uprising in 1969, as LGBTQIA+ folx rioted in protest of discriminatory policies and actions against their communities. Today, we see Black communities across the country protesting both the recent murders of community members, as well as centuries of systemic racism and violence.
This Pride Month, we are raising funds for the
Center for Black Equity – a non-profit organization whose vision is to "build a global network of LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, community-based organizations and Prides dedicated to achieving equality and social justice for Black LGBTQ+ communities through Economic Equity, Health Equity, and Social Equity." Donate for the chance to win an Amazon gift card ($10, $25, $50). The drawing will be held on Friday, June 26. Every donation of $1 will result in one entry into the drawing (e.g., $10 = 10 entries!). Donations can be made via
Venmo to @jpbonadonna with the message "IHP Pride Month." We hope you consider donating and supporting our Black LGBTQIA+ siblings this month!
(2) Asian American Parents: Understanding and Supporting LGBTQ+ Children
– Saturday, June 27 (Institute Wide)
From Dr. Kimberly Truong, Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Attend "Asian American Parents: Understanding and Supporting LGBTQ+ Children" on Saturday, June 27 at 8:00 p.m. via Zoom. Asian American families often misunderstand and do not know how to best support LGBTQ+ children due to generational, cultural, and language barriers. Given Pride month, COVID-associated mental health issues, as well as recent events addressing LGBTQ+ health care, we think it is critical and timely that Asian American parents learn about and have a space to discuss what sexuality is, and what to do to best support LGBTQ+ youth in the context of Asian American culture. This event is co-sponsored by the MGH Center for Cross-Cultural Student Emotional Wellness and the IHP's Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Register.

(6) Faculty Quick Guide: Responding to Racism (Faculty)
From Rachel Renaux, Office of Strategic Communications
In collaboration with the library, we have created the first in an intended series of faculty quick guides. These are designed to be curated collections of about ten resources on a topic for faculty who need immediate guidance. The
first quick guide collects links for faculty to help with responding to racism. This guide and future guides will reside on the
Faculty Compass home page (see the first tile below the header), and we will use the
Daily News to alert faculty when new ones are published.
