"Find your A"
In an effort to promote a personal connection to social justice values, our 2025 theme encourages attendees to "Find your A". The "A" is in reference to core social justice values such as allyship, advocacy, activism, and action. There are also other relevant aspects of social justice such as acknowledgment, appreciation, awareness, accomplice, acceptance, accessibility, and altruism. Determining how these values apply to oneself is key to creating positive community change. DEIS Impact will provide structured opportunities for participants to explore their relation to these important social justice values.
