Take A Stand! Sit In!

Take A Stand! Sit In! is an annual forum exploring social justice and racial injustice. In multiple sessions, Lansing Community College faculty and staff are joined by guest artists and community leaders who “take a stand” on issues they are teaching, working on, and passionate about, and attendees “sit in” to learn through creative participation and constructive discussion, and discover their path to action.
