Debate is unfair. Discriminatory judges and competitors exclude minorities and fuel an unequal structure in the space. Toxic cultures and an inability to spark institutional reform continues to stall change. We seek to foster a direct and unified front across the entire debate space to challenge oppression.

Education

Education

Debate is an educational space where knowledge is vital to success. We seek to expand access to those struggling to enter the event with content, lectures, and more. Education is also vital to minorities who fight for change with progressive argumentation that amplifies their voices.

Resources

Debate is expensive and exclusionary. Fees and costs lock out lower-income debaters while private prep groups and coaching limit their ability to learn. We seek to provide fundraising, scholarships, and coaching to combat these structures that hold students back.

Blogs

As a site to amplify marginalized voices, the blog serves to open discussions about the debate space and current events. Our team consistently writes and publishes articles that provide new critiques and perspectives to advance our activism and push for change. The content we produce includes interviews, research studies, news, and more from a diverse array of writers.

Hotline

As our namesake and original goal, the hotline exists to aid marginalized debaters in the fight against oppression. We seek to help by providing a safe space to discuss the issues in debate, vent, and provide strength in the face of constant discrimination. By providing around the clock support, we hope the hotline will strengthen and comfort those who seek it.

Resources

Inequities in debate are consistently reinforced by a gap in resources and education. We seek to abridge that gap by providing training and materials that can help debaters learn and better understand their event. We are working to create comprehensive and collaborative lessons and documents that will serve as a hub for everyone's debate education.

Judging Access

Judging Access

Cost continues to be a major burden on low-income, small school, and marginalized debaters. Especially with the high costs of traveling and debate camps, reaching national success in debate is difficult without ample financing. We seek to aid aspiring and emerging students with affordable judging costs that may reduce the financial barrier.
