David Glasgow and Kenji Yoshino in Conversation with Deborah Archer: How Equality Wins

Feb 10, 2026

Renowned legal experts David Glasgow and Kenji Yoshino (Say the Right Thing) join us for an online conversation with ACLU president Deborah Archer about reimagining the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in a divided nation — and their new book, How Equality Wins: A New Vision for an Inclusive America.

What went wrong with DEI? Facing a relentless political, legal, and cultural attack for DEI programs, corporations and universities are abandoning the DEI programs they previously championed, and the playbook Americans once had for advancing equality no longer seems viable. In How Equality Wins, David Glasgow and Kenji Yoshino unpack where DEI went wrong, offering a roadmap to rebuild equality for the new era. Drawing on peerless legal expertise and extensive experience advising leaders in corporate America, academia, and the non-profit sector, Yoshino and Glasgow share tangible strategies to put this nation back on a more inclusive path.

In a special online conversation, hear Glasgow, Yoshino and Archer discuss how politicians, cultural institutions, and everyday Americans can fight for equality and win: fostering free speech and dissent, reclaiming the concept of merit, and helping to ensure that the work of equality can overcome the backlash and emerge stronger on the other side.
