Join us for the Equity Week Opening Keynote featuring Eric K. Ward, a nationally recognized civil rights leader and racial justice advocate. As a lifelong champion for social change, Ward has dedicated his career to combating authoritarianism, racism, and antisemitism while fostering cross-community solidarity. Through his leadership at Race Forward and co-founding #CultureGuard, he has reshaped national conversations on racial equity, democracy, and social justice. In alignment with this year’s theme, "Cultivating Community: Building Connections Across Differences," Ward will share insights on bridging divides, confronting systemic inequities, and fostering inclusive communities. His powerful storytelling and deep expertise will inspire action toward a more just and connected society.
