We Are The Dream is a student organization that was formed after a white supremacist group came into our town. Our community held a peace rally and later we became an official group due to the fact that we spoke to administration and starting asking questions of why were we not informed that propoganda was being passed around on campus and why was the school not taking a stand against these actions. I was told that it was up to the students to do something about it. So as concerned students we took a stand against hate and did something about it, we became an organization that is open to the public. We want want to accomplish many things like having an advocate for sitautions like this and eventually having a center in which students can go to to feel a sense of comfort. We believe that being well educated about diversity is something that is extremely valueble and something that will very beneficial when the students get out into the work force. Our mission is to promote awareness and understanding of issues surrounding diversity and multiculturalism in the Bozeman community while providing support for minority students and community members, and building respect for individuality and difference through education.

Let's Talk About Discrimination was a free stage show by students at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.
Our goal was to take real stories about discrimination from our local community and put them on display for all to hear.
The stories were sad, funny, and absolutely shocking. Muncie is known for being a place for progressive thought and open-mindedness, but even it's not invincible to the terrible acts of discrimination.
The stories were real and the actors were amazing. If you would like to do an idea such as this for your community, contact us and we'll help you get started by telling about our production process. We do not want anything in return. We just want to help others give their communities a chance to have a similar experience.
