Equity Conference Speaker Announced

The Council on Racial and Social Justice announces the 2025 Equity Conference, Seasons of Solidarity: Tending our Legacy, Planting our Future. For the first time, the conference will be offered in a hybrid format from March 12 to 16, 2025. The first two days are virtual, and the last three days will be in person in San Diego.

We are excited to announce a confirmed speaker for this year’s Equity Conference. We will kick off virtually on March 12 with an amazing presentation and discussion with Sista Docta Alexis Pauline Gumbs, who has transformed the scope of intellectual, creative and oracular writing while also working collaboratively to nurture a community of thinkers and artists grounded in the resources that normative institutions ignore. Mark your calendars and look for registration soon!

This annual conference reflects CFA members’ concerted efforts to center anti-racism and social justice, something all the more urgent today.

Equity Conference 2025 will focus on the ways we hold fast and thrive while weathering seasons of change as we tend our legacy and plant our future. Guiding themes for the conference are:

• Care, Community and Connection (Fall)
• Joy and Jubilation (Spring)
• Radical Self-Care (Winter)
• Rupture and Reconciliation (Summer)

Please contact your chapter president, CRSJ representative and/or chapter field staff if you are interested in attending. Each chapter is encouraged to begin now to identify and invite CFA member activists with whom it seeks to strengthen relationship and engagement. The Council for Racial and Social Justice will sponsor up to three CFA member activists per chapter. Chapters will be responsible for cost associated with the attendance of other member activists.
