<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">Presentations are welcome that share initiatives by solar and space physicists (and others) regarding the creation and sustainability of a welcoming,
safe, inclusive, and accessible work environment for all within and outside the research community. This includes policy changes towards equity and accessibility, research-group or classroom methods towards inclusivity, hiring practices towards diversity,
and sorely needed demographic studies and information. Actions and data discussed could range from personal perspectives to tactics for small-group interactions to large-scale efforts at the institutional or societal level.</span><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
