The Attack on DEI: What We All Stand to Lose

The League of Women Voters has a long history of Advocacy.
Please join us for this free program.
Thursday, April 17, 7:30 p.m. via Zoom  Register here

In recent years, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEl) initiatives have faced increasing backlash, threatening to undo decades of progress. This presentation will examine the opposition, misinformation, and potential consequences for workplaces, education, and society as a whole.

We will explore how weakening DEl efforts ultimately harm everyone, not just marginalized groups, and more importantly, will identify strategies to advocate for inclusive policies that support our democracy.

Join us to understand what’s at stake.

Our speaker: Jay Kaplan is a staff attorney for the ACLU of Michigan, who is at the forefront of legal efforts to ensure the civil rights of LGBTQ+ people are protected and expanded. Jay is also a frequent speaker on college campuses and panelist at civil rights forums. Jay was honored with the 2006 Unsung Hero Award from the Michigan State Bar and the 2010 Virginia Uribe Civil Rights Award from the National Education Association.

Space is limited so register today!

You will receive the Zoom link via email when you register. Please hold on to the link email as you will not receive a reminder.
