What does equity look like from your neighborhood to across the globe? Our panel focuses around work done within communities to foster equitable environments, from technology communications, to legal services, to equal education opportunities. Through internships at Girls Inc., Connecticut Legal Services, SOS Racismo Bizkaia, and Dialpad, we worked within and for communities to increase access to job opportunities, sexual education, and legal aid for minoritized groups. Through DEI work, immigration services and advocacy, and college readiness programs, panelists will discuss their experiences of advocating for greater opportunities, education, and belonging.
