Navigating the Backlash— Advancing Racial Equity in a Shifting Landscape

We are joined by Alphonso David, CEO of Global Black Economic Forum and Dariely Rodriguez, Acting Co-Chief Counsel, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law for a discussion on navigating the current anti-DEI backlash. While communities and organizations continue to push forward, coordinated attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion policies, racial equity programs, and civil rights protections threaten to undo decades of progress. 

As anti-DEI executive orders and legislation reshape the legal and political landscape, leaders and organizations committed to racial equity must adapt to sustain their efforts. Moderated by CURE’s Dr. Judy Lubin, this webinar brings civil rights law experts together to discuss the attacks on DEI, their broader implications, and strategies to sustain your organization’s racial equity efforts.

Key Topics Include:

• The Changing Legal and Political Landscape: Learn about the current status of legal challenges to the DEI executive orders, what’s shifting in the legal and political landscape, why it matters, and how racial equity advocates can respond with clarity and purpose.
• Holding the Line on Racial Equity: Strategies for organizations to stay true to their commitments while navigating new restrictions. 
• Sustaining Impact While Managing Risk: Practical ways to mitigate challenges without compromising the work.
• Advancing Equity Amid Resistance: Practical strategies to sustain racial justice efforts despite opposition.
