ABSTRACT:

This editorial introduction highlights the 2025 Region V Training hosted by the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME). The three-day event convened scholars, educators, and advocates from ten states in Region V, fostering a vibrant learning community through virtual, hybrid, and face-to-face engagements. With the theme “Building Inclusive Communities through Collaboration and Collective Action,” the event underscored the power of collective organizing, shared leadership, and justice-centered pedagogy in advancing equity in education. This issue of the Texas Journal for Multicultural Education captures the voices, scholarship, and action-based work that emerged from these sessions and keynotes. It affirms the value of regional collaboration in amplifying multicultural education across diverse contexts.
