DESCRIPTION: Since the Supreme Court's 2023 opinion against affirmative action, legislators and litigators have unleashed a torrent of laws and lawsuits targeting diversity, equity and inclusion programs. The incoming Trump administration threatens to further mobilize the federal government against diversity programming through executive orders and "reverse discrimination" lawsuits.\n\nIn this event, leading advocates and scholars will explore the potential of strategies rooted in the First Amendment to defend and advance inclusion in the face of state DEI bans, private lawsuits, and a potentially hostile federal government.\n\nFeaturing:\nShalini Goel Agarwal, Special Counsel, Protect Democracy\nTona Boyd, Civil Rights Expert, Former Associate Director Counsel, NAACP LDF \nTaonga Leslie, Director of Policy and Program for Racial Justice, American Constitution Society\nChris Geidner, Columnist and Author, Law Dork & MSNBC\nWilliam M.
