As leaders of departments or organizations tasked with sponsoring election-related programming, five of us, faculty and students, are working together across political differences to coordinate events that will help prepare our community for the 2020 elections. We are committed to talking through our differences thoughtfully and respectfully, without ignoring challenges that we see as important.
With less than two months until election day, the Holy Cross Elections Forum will highlight virtual opportunities to engage on issues of political identity, access to affordable healthcare, racial justice, climate change, and foreign policy. Each week we'll offer Zoom events with special guest speakers, debates, and informal discussions among students and faculty. We also will share links to thoughtful commentary from various perspectives, and we invite you to suggest helpful articles and resources as we consider these issues as well.
