The workshop featured sessions led by various experts in the field:

The Truman Center is dedicated to creating a more diverse and inclusive constituency for reducing nuclear risks across the United States. By partnering with organizations nationwide, they aim to represent the concerns and priorities of all Americans and diversify US nuclear policymaking. Their efforts are focused on underrepresented communities in the nuclear policy field, including women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. The Truman Center is accomplishing these goals through convenings that engage stakeholders in discussions on how nuclear security intersects with critical issues such as climate change, environmental justice, public health, and equality.
