Next Solidarity Session with Native Americans and Italian Americans – Wednesday, September 25

Other groups and communities encouraged to attend to broaden the alliance NORTHVALE, NJ, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The September Solidarity Session – “Bridging Cultures Against Cancel Culture” - will be held on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at 8 PM Eastern. These monthly Sessions bring different groups together in unity to oppose the cancel culture affecting so many.

Leaders of the Native American Guardian’s Association (“NAGA”) and representatives of Italian American organizations from around the country invite you to join the next monthly Zoom meeting to collaborate in fostering understanding, promote dialogue and build solidarity among diverse groups facing challenges from cultural erasure and historical revisionism.

Native American, Italian American and other communities share a common experience of marginalization and misrepresentation. Fundamental to NAGA’s cause is responding to misconceptions on Native American names and imagery, while Italian Americans are dedicated to preserving Columbus as the iconic symbol of their heritage and culture.

Both groups have faced historical injustices and stereotypes that continue to impact their communities today. By joining forces, they aim to confront the harmful effects of cancel culture and reclaim their narratives. They invite other groups and communities to join as well to create a broad alliance to oppose cancel culture.

Tony Henson, President of NAGA, Eunice Davidson, NAGA founder and immediate past president, Thomas Damigella, Executive Vice President of the Italian American Alliance as well as other representatives of NAGA and Italian American organizations will be on the Zoom call.

The Italian American One Voice Coalition (“IAOVC”), America’s largest independent Italian American anti-bias organization, and NAGA, advocating for increased education about Native Americans, launched these Solidarity Sessions earlier this year. Andre’ DiMino, President of IAOVC, host and moderator of the Sessions, stated. “We encourage anyone and everyone to join us in this important initiative."

The next Solidarity Session will take place via Zoom on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at 8 PM Eastern. Members of the Native American and Italian American communities, as well as allies and supporters, are encouraged to attend and participate in this important dialogue. Attendance is free to anyone interested in the important issues discussed.

Registration is required to join the Solidarity Session. Click the link on www.thesolidaritysessions.com to register.
