DEI is being dismantled—but equity can’t wait.

Across the United States (and several other countries across the globe), equity, justice, and inclusion advocates are being silenced, programs are being defunded, and historically underinvested and excluded communities are being left out—again. It’s not enough to “hold space.” We have to build new ones.

Join the Institute of Equitable Design and Justice (formerly known as Creative Reaction Lab) and Antionette D. Carroll, award-winning social entrepreneur, designer, and systems strategist, for the Equity by Design Immersives—a 3-day immersive experience created to meet this moment of backlash with action. It’s not enough to be frustrated by the rollbacks; we must organize and co-design interventions to ultimately create equitable policies, campaigns, and programs — change.

This isn’t a workshop. It’s a collective redesign.
Whether you’re in education, government, tech, healthcare, grassroots organizing, or just a person who cares, this space is for those ready to:

• Move beyond performative DEI statements and social media posts

• Build equity-centered interventions and systems rooted in accountability

• Reclaim creativity, imagination, and futurism as a tool for resistance and redesign

You’ll walk away with:

• A shared language for equity-centered design

• The ECCD™ framework applied to your own practice

• Peer collaboration across fields and identities

• A renewed sense of urgency—and a concrete path forward

This is the work that can’t be undone.
