Minority Veterans of America will host the 2022 Equity, Inclusion & Justice Summit virtually on October 15-16. 

The Equity, Inclusion, & Justice Summit is back for the third year and we're building our best event yet!  The past two years have been a rollercoaster for many of us. Our equity has been challenged. Our inclusion has been challenged. The core of justice has been challenged. Each of us has felt a range of emotions including confusion, grief, and anxiety. But it’s time to remember our strength. To remind ourselves that equity, inclusion, and justice are not just words. They’re a way of life and at this year’s Summit, we are determined to build our roadmap back to joy.

You will leave Summit knowing that together we are strong, we are equitable, and we are a united force for change. We remember our journey. Together we are a community. We were created for this moment. We will bring joy. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

Pre-conference workshops will also be offered on October 14.
