On Saturday, October 11, 2025, the 4th Annual BRIDGE Community Forum will take place at the Rollins School of Public Health. This year’s theme — “When Policy Threatens Progress: Safeguarding Black Women’s Health” — takes an unflinching look at how recent federal restrictions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts are shaping the future of research, clinical care, and community advocacy.

The forum will feature:

  • Community and Policy Conversations highlighting how advocacy organizations are sustaining progress and investing in the next generation of health equity leaders.

Our audience will include patients and survivors, clinicians, researchers, policymakers, students, and community leaders — making it a unique and valuable learning experience for students across disciplines. It’s a chance for them to see firsthand how the issues we discuss in the classroom translate into real-world action and advocacy.
