MULTI
The Multi student group is a space for those who identify as multiethnic, racial, and/or cultural. Considering the fluid nature of multi identity, we emphasize the importance of self-identification in determining the boundaries of the space. Additionally, we seek to make the space most inclusive as possible by understanding the ways class, gender, sexuality, and other social markers intersect with race, ethnicity, and culture. This is seen as an attempt to challenge the possible privileging of those who occupy less marginalized social positionalities, which emerges out of our social justice values. We also challenge our society’s privileging of singular racial identities, and the rigid boundaries that ensue between racial, ethnic, and cultural groups. Our primary goal is to promote an increased awareness of multi identity for others and ourselves.

Oberlin Coalition for Im/migrant Rights
The Oberlin Coalition for Im/migrant Rights (OCIR) is a newly founded student and community coalition committed to working in solidarity with the millions of protesters across the nation demanding justice for documented and undocumented im/migrants.  We oppose racist and xenophobic legislation, such as the recent HR4437, which criminalizes im/migrants and their allies, and denies them of their basic civil, labor, and human rights. We join with activists in this growing national movement in calling on the U.S. Senate to pass just im/migration reform that includes a pathway to legalization, family reunification, and stronger labor protections for all workers regardless of legal status.

In May of 2006, OCIR held a faculty panel (Pam Brooks/African American Studies, Pablo Mitchell/History and Comparative American Studies, and Ari Sammartino/History) on immigration as well as a highly successful student walk out and rally to raise awareness and educate around im/migrant rights.

Students for a Free Palestine
The purpose of this group is to educate the Oberlin Community about the plight of the Palestine people as well as to address the issues involved in the creation of an independent Palestine state. It is our aim to promote understanding regarding the protection of rights and freedoms of Arabs and Jews living in Israel and displaced Palestinians living in other countries. The organization will attempt to enlighten the college community about the stereotypes of Middle Easterners in the U.S. media and society and to ultimately eliminate these stereotypes as well as to expose the Oberlin Community to the Middle Eastern concerns and culture. Membership is open to all Oberlin College students and community members.

It is primarily intended to be a safe space for people of color, low-income, first-generation, and international students, although anyone can apply.
