There is a noticeable lack of opportunities for non-English speech and debate within New York, hurting the diverse community of students throughout the state. The New York Chapter hopes to amplify student voices through the Equality in Forensics blog in order to bring awareness to the issues that the circuit faces and encourage change that can solve the problems at their root. They also plan to host a tournament that supports non-English speakers through inclusive resources and judging to help non-native competitors reach their full potential.
