This panel, comprised of diverse members of our various and varied communities, will discuss numerous issues that are relevant across cultural, racial, ethnic, gender, sexuality, religious, linguistic environments. The discussion will be in the form of a roundtable discussion in which the panelists, with the guidance of questions from the moderator and the observations of the commentator, will freely engage the commonalities and differences in needs, goals, and aspirations of our various and varied communities and interrogate how, in spite of differences we can build successful coalitions in a non-essentialists, anti-subordination quest for justice.
