Lunar New Year Monterey Park Tragedy
Community Processing Space

Today, Mon. Jan 23rd, 1:30-3:30pm
Multicultural Center Lounge

The MCC is hosting a collective and safe space for healing and to process the senseless violence against the AAPI community during a Lunar New Year Celebration. It is devastating when children, friends, families, and communities cannot celebrate their cultures and connections in their sacral ways and spaces without experiencing hatred and violence.

Today and this week may feel heavy, please prioritize your emotional and mental wellness. If you or someone you know need communal support, please join us today at the MCC lounge from 1:30-3:30pm for a healing and processing space.

This space with substitute for Spiritual Care Club and be one of many healing spaces provided by campus this week. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Dear Campus Community,

In light of the terrorist attack that recently occurred in Buffalo, New York, whereby 10 Black people were fatally shot and 3 injured just because of the color of their skin while going about their daily routines, there will be a campus community gathering hosted this Friday, May 20th, 12-1pm at Storke Plaza. All students, faculty, staff, and community members are welcome to share this space in solidarity with the victims of the massacre, and in solidarity with Black students at UCSB, and Black community at large, who are constantly triggered and traumatized by witnessing and experiencing anti-blackness locally, nationally, and worldwide.

The gathering will consist of an Open Mic (with priority given to the Black community. Sign up Here) to share hearts and to give honor to the victims of the Buffalo attack. Local artist Talitha Gabrielle will share music as an offering for our communal healing. There will also be an art station, and pizza and drinks provided. CAPS staff and a representative from Healing Space UCSB will also be present in solidarity and to share mental health resources. Special thanks to all the co-sponsors: BSU, MCC, OBSD, CAPS, AS, and Mental Health Taskforce Mini-Grant Committee.
