“The LGBTQ+ community, the POC community, and those struggling with mental illnesses or disabilities are all facing extreme discrimination due to legislative policies, misinformation, governmental control, and lack of education. Especially at URI, which is a predominantly white school, it is imperative to educate and inform our student body about the different underlying social nuances and themes so that they can take the necessary steps to improve the environment they occupy.”
