By signing, I stand with LGBTQIA2S+ COCC students and call upon the Senior Leadership Team and the President to rescind the college’s invitation to Lori Chavez-DeRemer to speak at commencement, due to her record of anti-LGBTQIA2S+ policies. I also support students’ calls for a student-inclusive commencement speaker selection process and for long-term institutional support for LGBTQIA2S+ students, including a cohesive LGBTQIA2S+ program and coordinator.
