In recognition of the current challenges facing education, this webinar will provide critical space to discuss pathways forward and strategies to deal with these challenges. The panel will explore the impact of the rollbacks in equity initiatives as well as curriculum bans on education. Panelists will provide insight from their own work into how educators, advocates, and policymakers can respond effectively to these rollbacks and curriculum bans.
