The Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Summit (EIJ) is a free two-day experience, delving into the intersections of the minority veteran identity and key issues that impact our worlds and lived experiences the most. This annual event features workshops, panels, and live performances by minority veterans, lead activists, artists, experts, and community providers.
EIJ offers:
Education & Connection: Network with participants and attend workshops and panels led by minority veterans, lead activists, experts, and movement builders.
Intersectional Focus: Explore in-depth the experiences of veterans who’ve existed on the margins of the traditional military veteran archetype.
Resources: Get resources for Education & Professional Development, Community & Arts, Government, Legal & Benefits, Outdoor Rec, and Health & Wellness.
