About 150 community members across the 7Cs gathered at Scripps College’s Elm Tree Lawn Thursday at 1 p.m. and marched to Pomona College’s Walker Beach to rally against sexual violence in the wake of drugging and sexual assault allegations at Cornell University. Co-organizers Don James (DJ) Posillico PO ’27 and Stephanie Li PZ ’28 brought together several student organizations, advocacy groups and Title IX Coordinators to spread awareness about sexual violence on college campuses and to protest the Cornell Administration. Li said she organized the rally to stand with the Cornell plaintiff, referred to as Jane Doe in a lawsuit filed last month, and every survivor of sexual violence.

Community and art at Walker Beach’s Mom Said Flea
On Saturday, Sept. 20, Pomona College hosted the Mom Said Have Fun flea market at Walker Beach. Grateful to have a moment of respite from midterm season, students wandered around over 60 different booths, browsing through potted plants, handmade jewelry, vintage clothing and more. Students expressed their excitement about getting to pick out new clothes and decorations for the fall while also supporting small businesses. Amidst digging through piles of clothing, perusing hand-printed posters and receiving a tarot card reading, students took part in a larger effort to build community amongst 5C students. The flea market highlights the amalgamation of passions and skills present in the Claremont community, where students can unwind, foster friendships and embrace the local art scene.
