On February 7 & 8, 2025, the second annual Leading Towards Justice Symposium was held at UW-Seattle. As the attacks on immigrant, LGBTQ+, racialized, and marginalized communities continue to unfold, alongside threats to DEI and public education, the role of educators, educational leaders, and community leaders has never been more critical. This is precisely why our teaching and leadership are vital to cultivating joyful learning environments rooted in the brilliance of Black, Indigenous, Latiné, Asian American, and Pacific Islander youth. The 2025 Symposium took up the question: How do we teach and lead in ways that are consequential and responsive to our current climate and conditions?

We designed the Symposium to cultivate the relationality and solidarities we urgently need to face this moment. Below is a highlight video from the 2025 Leading Towards Justice Symposium.

The Symposium was hosted by the UW Just Ed Leadership Institute, Leadership for Learning, Danforth Educational Leadership, and Teacher Education programs, with support from the Corbally Endowment, Educational Foundations, Leadership and Policy (EdFLP), and Killinger Endowment.
