SPEECH AND DEBATE FOR ALL.
Quick Resources
Ananya Saravanan | 1/15/25
"Speech and debate is supposed to be a place where we allow the voiceless to speak about their experiences, whether that’s in the form of an Oratory or a Congress bill - a place to gain perspectives, not confine them. When there’s a formula that you ‘need’ to win, it limits us to hearing the same performances every time, defeating the purpose of this community."
Breaking Barriers: How Speech and Debate Can Uplift Autistic Voices
Dani Scantlin | 1/8/25
"We must address the specific challenges faced by the autistic community and actively work to amplify their voices. After all, if we fail to recognize the struggles and successes of the autistic community, can we truly claim to be empowering the voices of all?"
Sadie Zwonitzer | 1/1/25
"You will read and hear students constantly explain what arguments are more moral to run or how we can help damaged communities in our cruel world, yet frequently we overlook the largest sector of speech and debate: ourselves."
