NAME declared, "… we must all rise up against the current tide of white supremacy to defend multicultural education." Yet, fearful educators omit curriculum and conversations deemed 'divisive.' In response to these challenges posed by white supremacy and the consequential pressure on educators to avoid "divisive" topics, this manuscript details a workshop aimed at empowering educators navigating the "culture wars" that pervade the educational landscape and impact classroom practice. Drawing on research and current events, our interdisciplinary group of teacher and leadership educators from the College of Education's Diversity Council, offers strategies and tools designed to empower educators to advocate for social justice-oriented and multicultural education, despite facing backlash and punitive measures from conservative entities. Recognizing teachers as classroom experts, this work aims to bolster their confidence and equip them with a robust toolkit to counteract assaults on culturally responsive teaching practices. It underscores the importance of these advocacy efforts in our spheres of influence as foundational to the pursuit of an equitable, inclusive, and just democracy.
