Brotherhood is built through respect, leadership, accountability, and service, not intimidation, humiliation, or harm. Be the leader. Protect the Brotherhood. Speak up. See it. Experience it. Report it. To report hazing, call the 24-hour Hazing Hotline at 1-888-NOT-HAZE (1-888-668-4293).

“This wasn’t just a panel. It was a conversation about history, access, power, and what comes next.”

During the 55th Annual Legislative Conference, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. convened “Where Do We Go From Here: Addressing the Systemic Dismantling of the Civil Rights Act,” bringing together leaders in law, advocacy, policy, and civic engagement for a timely conversation on civil rights, voter participation, collaboration, Black male engagement, and community responsibility.

The question was bigger than the ballot box: How do we protect access, strengthen our communities, engage the next generation, and apply the lessons of history to the challenges before us.

Where do we go from here?
