NEW ORLEANS – The Sun Belt Conference is heartbroken by the tragic and devastating events taking place throughout our country. Racism and discrimination deprive too many people of their basic guaranteed liberties and destroy their hopes for a better life for themselves and their families. We are committed to working with our communities to create real and transformative change.
The Sun Belt believes one of the most effective ways to make progress is to educate people about the power of civic engagement. In partnership with our student-athletes, coaches and staff, we intend to facilitate conversations that better educate those in our membership about our electoral process, work to help register voters and create meaningful dialogue with law enforcement to build stronger community policing.
