The PNW MOSAIC Project: Mapping Othering, Strength, & Allyship In Community is a publicly accessible free online resource housed at Gonzaga University in cooperation with the Gonzaga School of Leadership Studies, Gonzaga Center for the Study of Hate, and multiple community partners. Funding for this project has been made possible by the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations.

Here, you will find stories focusing on lived experiences in the Pacific Northwest with a commitment to the values of justice and human rights. Stories here help us to connect our past with our present, and support choices today to become upstanders in actively working for more inclusive communities. We take seriously our duty to surface the stories of bias and bigotry as well as to celebrate the resiliency of our diverse community members and solidarity through allyship. Our goal is to support leadership for the common good, nurturing greater compassion and a more democratic society.

The resources here have generally been created by Gonzaga students and are continually growing in number. If you would like to become involved with PNW MOSAIC Project, we invite your participation by suggesting stories, recommending contacts, and or providing sponsorships. Please contact Dr. Kristine Hoover at hoover@gonzaga.edu to explore possibilities.
