Over several impactful days, we witnessed a remarkable assembly of dedicated individuals united by a common goal — to advance civil rights and social justice. This convention featured powerful discussions, thought-provoking speeches, interactive workshops, and invaluable networking opportunities, all contributing to an atmosphere of inspiration and unity. We are immensely proud of the collective efforts made, the meaningful stories shared, and the strong connections forged in Las Vegas. This event has truly been a testament to our shared commitment to benefiting our culture and community. Whether you were able to join us in person or participated from afar, our mission continues.
