Why should I join?

The Audre Lorde LLP offers students a unique opportunity to develop their understanding and advocacy for intersecting identities, such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity through a social justice lens.

Students who participate in the community will have the ability to participate in tailored co-curricular programs and a host of dynamic course offerings that help students to reflect on their own identities and others' experiences. Using Audre Lorde's life as a template for social action, students in the Audre Lorde LLP will interrogate their own intersecting identities as well as study the broader history and cultural context of social categories, develop a plan for identity-based social justice and host programming that will educate themselves and their peers.
