Native Americans & Italian Americans Join Forces at Next Solidarity Session - Bridging Cultures Against Cancel Culture

Jason Buck, Defensive End for Super Bowl XXVI World Champion Washington Redskins to be Guest Speaker

NORTHVALE, NJ, UNITED STATES, May 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Italian American One Voice Coalition (“IAOVC”), and The Native American Guardian’s Association (“NAGA”), announce the next collaborative session bringing Native American, Italian American and other communities together to oppose the pervasive threat of cancel culture. These “Solidarity Sessions – Bridging Cultures Against Cancel Culture” foster understanding, promote dialogue and build solidarity among diverse groups facing challenges from cultural erasure and historical revisionism.

Starting last March, these monthly Sessions have forged a milestone alliance among NAGA, Italian American organizations and other groups. Each virtual Session includes discussions of challenges being addressed to counter cancel culture and features a guest speaker. This month’s guest speaker is Jason Buck, NAGA Associate Board Member, defensive end for the Super Bowl XXVI World Champion Washington Redskins, a direct descendant of several Native American tribes.

Cancel culture has increasingly become a concerning phenomenon in today's society. It often overlooks the complexities of history and cultural context, leading to silencing of voices and erasure of important narratives.

Native American and Italian American communities share a common experience of marginalization and misrepresentation. Both have faced historical injustices and stereotypes that continue to impact their communities today. By joining forces, they aim to confront the harmful effects of cancel culture and reclaim their narratives.

Andre DiMino, President of IAOVC commented, “We look forward to our next Solidarity Session and to hear from Jason Buck. These Sessions have been an excellent opportunity to gain greater understanding of our cultures and the challenges we all face with cancel culture. We hope to see many others join the next Solidarity Session to continue our progress.”

The next Solidarity Session will take place via Zoom on Tuesday, May 20, 2024 at 8 PM EDT. Members of the Native American and Italian American communities, as well as allies and supporters, are encouraged to attend and participate in this important dialogue.

Participation is free but registration is required to join the Solidarity Session. Click the link on www.thesolidaritysessions.com to register.
