The goals of this conference are to:

• Boldly face racial inequities by examining how many of our systems have perpetuated institutional, structural and systemic barriers adversely impacting children, youth and young adults of color.
• Intentionally embrace strategies using a racial equity lens to challenge reforms in our government, education, health, labor, housing, social services and criminal justice systems.
• Unapologetically lead with race, tackling burning Ð as well as deep-rooted Ð issues and bringing forward innovative and inclusive solutions to positively transform the lives of children, youth and young adults of color.

• Any youth or young adult who wants to be engaged in the process, sharing their own story, redefining how the systems and policies that affect their lives can be transformed.
