Welcome to the 2025 Solidarity Conference: Building Power through Culture, Community, and Connections. This conference is presented by CTA’s Four Ethnic Caucuses.

At CTA, we understand the significance of unity, and this conference is all about harnessing the strength of our collective experiences, cultures, and communities to create positive change. The Solidarity Conference will feature general sessions and workshops where educators and community leaders will share their stories, insights, and strategies for empowering our communities and classrooms.
