Brenda Victoria Castillo to Speak at Demand Diversity Roundtable Among Leading Civil Rights Organizations
The nation’s top civil and human rights leaders will convene Wednesday, January 22, for an emergency strategy session and public forum to defend equal opportunity for all. Brenda Victoria Castillo, President and CEO of the National Hispanic Media Coalition, will serve as a key principal at this event.
Moderated by National Urban League President and CEO Marc H. Morial, the lively, rapid-fire, 90-minute roundtable will focus on confronting the campaign to discredit diversity, equity, and inclusion, exposing the myths used to divide communities, setting the record straight with facts, and reaffirming participants’ unwavering commitment to justice, unity, and the values that strengthen our nation.
NHMC will be among notable organizations such as Arab-American Institute, Common Cause, Global Black Economic Forum, Human Rights Campaign, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, League of United Latin American Citizens, Legal Defense Fund, National Action Network, National Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, National Council of Jewish Women, National Council of Negro Women, and Southern Poverty Law Center. By uniting voices from across the nation, the roundtable will underscore the importance of collective action and call for standing against policies that threaten progress.
The Demand Diversity Roundtable convenes on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, at 11:30 am, ET/8:30 am PT.
