Called to action
As a college sophomore in their hometown of San Diego, Crescent Alcid worked on LGBTQIA+ issues, gender equity and cross-cultural issues with peers. Later, they participated in demonstrations to decry the death of George Floyd at the knee of a police officer. But it wasn’t until they moved to Atlanta to pursue an MPH last summer that their activism took off.
Immediately after settling in, Alcid engaged with LGBTQIA+ activism at Rollins and this year served as president of the school’s Queer and Trans Collaborative. They also engage with Students for Social Justice and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, as well as working with the Graduate Student Government Association on expanding diversity and equity studies to the graduate school curriculum.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. More than a year after her death, Louisville showed Breonna Taylor s legacy is still alive on what would have been her 28th birthday.
The Breonna Taylor Foundation, established by Taylor s mother Tamika Palmer last year, invited the community to join her at Waterfront Park on Saturday evening for Praise in the Park in honor of the late emergency room technician.
Hundreds of people turned up despite the barrage of cicadas on the Big Four Lawn to pray, dance and sing together.
Palmer promised to continue to be visible as long as no one has been held accountable for her daughter s death, and thanked the crowd who joined her on her first-born s birthday.
