Social Justice Teach-In


Monday, November 3, 2025 — Our theme is “Meeting the Moment”

Save the date for the fourth annual Black Solidarity Day, held on the first Monday of November. We encourage you to plan to incorporate that day into your syllabus or work schedule and consider reassigning your classes or employees to participate in the event.

November 3, 2025 will be the fourth year in which Black Solidarity Day is an official part of the SUNY Plattsburgh academic calendar. This year, the theme is “Meeting the Moment.” In recognition of Black Solidarity Day, our campus will host a Social Justice Teach-In, featuring programming for the Plattsburgh community and beyond about racial justice, anti-racism and social justice.

This is a day to meditate on the meaning of social justice and civic engagement in what could be a multi-racial democracy. Black Solidarity Day is meant “to highlight racial injustices, societal inequities and to illuminate how Black voices are integral to American life” and our college community. We invite students, faculty, staff and community members to contribute a teach-in session that speaks directly to the meaning of Black Solidarity Day and/or that engages with social justice, broadly defined.

2025 Schedule of Events


Join us for a series of concurrent presentations and events, led by students, staff, faculty and community groups, held all over campus. The theme is “Meeting the Moment.” The day will commence with a welcome event in the Warren Ballrooms and conclude with a candlelight vigil for peace and racial justice. A full schedule for 2025 will be revealed in the coming weeks.

2024 Recap

Our 2024 Black Solidarity Day program explored important topics such as supporting underrepresented students in STEM, redefining allyship, dispelling myths about immigration, and fostering connection through bridge-building and peer mentoring workshops. We also offered an interactive “Double Dutch” jump-rope session that encouraged movement and community fun while learning about its history and cultural significance.

New for 2024, we introduced a cool down zone for anyone looking for a safe space in which to relax, reflect or decompress with various activities, including petting a therapy dog.
