Catalysts

Yesterday Hope College finally reached its tipping point. Several hate crimes and acts of discrimination have been happening on campus, especially in the last year and a half, and they have been brushed under the rug... until now. This newest act of hatred affects more students and has been made more public than those before and now people are talking. Talking is good, educating is good, but it's time for us to do something. This anger and frustration, and even the fear need to be channeled toward positive and lasting change on this campus. While I don't approve of what happened in any way, I am grateful for the conversations it has started. This is the catalyst we've been needing, let's use it to create a home at Hope that is safe and accepting of ALL people.

Thank you so much.
