Advocating for Student's Civil Rights Amid Anti-DEI Threats

A focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) helps ensure that students are learning in vibrant, inclusive learning environments where their identities are celebrated.

Panelists will help break down the landscape surrounding anti-DEI efforts and help advocates demystify how federal actions could impact their communities, including tools and strategies to prevent systems from proactively dismantling DEI efforts.
