• Activism

This week I worked on my Service Learning reflection paper. In addition I dropped of my ours sheet at Leandra Prestons office.

• Reflection

While writing my reflection paper I really came to realize the importance of solidarity between marginalized groups. I was so grateful for the opportunity to be shown the powerful work of Animal Safe House and how it helped not only women but men too. I know that my work with Animal Safe House has helped people from every single background. This is the ultimate reflection of solidarity. I was reminded of the article I read for my discussion leading; "The rising cost of whiteness" According to Kaye/Kantrowitz when we lose our sense of solidarity with other marginalized groups we lose our ability to stand for one another.

• Reciprocity

I feel like we definitely accomplished what we set out to do. Now we begin the process of preparing for our class presentation.
