<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">We would like to provide a space to share the best ideas across departments towards lasting action on anti-racism, and the promotion of diversity and inclusion for postdocs at MIT. During this meeting, we
hope to sort specific actions in the short, mid and long term, identify key stakeholders and current resources, and consolidate inter-departmental partnerships to chart a clear course of action that the PDA can help facilitate. </span><br style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"></span><br style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">All postdocs are welcome to attend! We strongly encourage an active participation and invite you to bring a concrete list of actions that you think will trigger change. Keep in mind that the PDA works
across all departments. </span><br style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">
