The issues, the challenges, and some of the resources to create more equitable and inclusive physics environments

There is growing interest in physics and astronomy to create more equitable and inclusive environments that will support all to flourish and thrive. Even with this interest, it can be difficult to know what to do, what is already happening, and how to get involved. This talk will describe some of the issues and areas in physics where equity and inclusion needs improvement, as well as feature various resources and programmatic efforts from AAPT and APS that physics educators can be involved with in various capacities such as the Physics and Astronomy STEMM Equity Achievement (SEA) Change project.
