Every day is Principles of Community Day at �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis, though we need not say it out loud. We know it’s there, this document that embodies the values about treating one another and how we want to be treated ourselves, with equity and justice.

Next week is Principles of Community Week at �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis, the period set aside annually to shout it from the top of Mrak Hall to the Quad and Sacramento and beyond. And that we will do, with events from Monday through Friday, Feb. 24-28, culminating in the Disability Resource Fair at the end of the week.

This year marks the fifth anniversary of revisions agreed to by the community “to underscore the PoC’s standing and meaning as an aspirational statement,” and the 30th anniversary of the original adoption.

Thirty years of affirming the dignity inherent in all of us, 30 years of affirming the right of freedom of expression within our community, 30 years of confronting and rejecting all manifestations of discrimination, 30 years of recognizing that each of us has an obligation to the �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis community of which we have chosen to be a part.
