Truth to Power: Impact Through Community Voice and Action

Mission Statement

The National Multicultural Conference and Summit convenes scholars in our roles as community members, educators, practitioners, researchers, and students, in psychology and related fields, to inform and inspire multicultural theory, research, practice, and advocacy. Our advocacy is community driven to center community voice and perspective in the naming of strengths, challenges, and opportunities.   Multiculturalism is envisioned as intersections of experiences related to age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, indigenous heritage, national origin, race, spirituality, religion, sexual orientation, social class and socioeconomic status, and other social identities.

​

• To understand the impact of social media (or technology), including its roles in promoting social justice and expanding access.
