Equity Conference 2025 Speaker, Workshop, Presentation Proposal Submissions Due this Week!
For the first time, the 2025 Equity 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.
CFA Council for Racial & Social Justice caucuses and other recognized unionwide member entities are invited to submit proposals for speakers, presentations, and workshops. Caucus proposals will be prioritized. Please complete the submission proposals and meeting needs documents.
A project of the Council for Racial & Social Justice, the annual conference reflects CFA members’ concerted efforts to center anti-racism and social justice, something that is regularly an urgent need in our society. Significant gains made in the recent re-opener contract struggle reflect CFA’s pledge to make anti-racism and social justice a living and enforceable part of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. We (our peoples, sovereignties, and nations) continue to be threatened by political upheaval, blurred lines between state and religion, challenges to the core mission of the CSU, and looming austerity.
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 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 costs associated with the attendance of additional member activists.
Mark your calendars so you don’t miss this grounding experience. Registration will begin in January. More detailed information and registration will be forthcoming.
