Hour of Action

The Hour of Action (HOA) began in June 2020 in response to the ongoing racism and structural oppression of BIPOC in our communities and broader society. The HOA is meant to provide a space and resources to channel our anti-racist and diversity and equity-oriented actions together as a community. During this hour, we will review possible actions, name individual goals for the hour, break out individually or in groups to work, and then come back together to reflect before breaking.

We have an ongoing list of resources for the Hour of Action events, both short-term actionable (e.g., politician phone #s to call) and educational (e.g., resources for how to talk to family members about racial injustice), accessed here through this Google Document.

We invite students, faculty, and staff from across the Psychology and Neuroscience Department to attend, and we strongly encourage groups dedicated to DEI initiatives to bring their committee work/meetings to the HOA. Individuals and groups can sign up for break-out rooms here.
