Weekly Anti-Racism in the Outdoors Resource

Each week, we will be sharing an anti-racist educational resource and
invite the community to engage with these resources as well. These
resources are focused on dismantling racism in the outdoors and will be
shared via our Instagram and Facebook pages, the WOC-ly calendar, and on
our website. At the end of each month, we will share a larger document with
additional recommended resources.

Week of 11/1 Resource: "Thoughts on the Killing of George Floyd: Systemic
Racism is Everywhere, Even in the Great Outdoors”
<https://www.hatchmag.com/articles/thoughts-killing-george-floyd/7715062>
By: Chad Brown, Hatch Magazine

We will be holding a Zoom chat to talk about the resource, anti-racism in
the outdoors, and anything on your mind this Thursday 11/5 from 8- 8:20 PM!
Come join some of our board members to chat:

EPIC SUNRISE HIKE UP MT. GREYLOCK - SEE ANNOUNCEMENT!



Cross Country Mixer! No not that kind of mixer! Instead of drinks with the
team, this thoroughly “junior varsity” expedition will be a gently-paced ~4
mile jog with a mixture of road and trail (and great meadow views). Email
Gavin, [log in to unmask] for a spot, and meet in Currier quad at 11:30 AM.
All are welcome; we’ll cater to whatever pace. Capacity is 4.



Bee Hill Hike! End the week on a high note in the woods with this 6 mile
hike (including road walking mileage). We will leave campus at 2 pm and
return at about 4:30 pm. Sign up here
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RkmjRQHtwhs6NSLkY2_ZOw1Gsyca9Q7llzMr2LjCMy8/edit#gid=926717708>
and
feel free to email Charlotte cgj1 if you have questions!



Saturday



Random Hike Take a hike to...who knows where??? Show up to Paresky steps at
12. We’ll spin a dial and then walk (approximately) in that direction for
one hour, getting back to campus at 2pm. Sign up here
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RkmjRQHtwhs6NSLkY2_ZOw1Gsyca9Q7llzMr2LjCMy8/edit#gid=926717708>
