In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how tangible and successful allyship happens on the ground. First, participants will reconnect with baseline knowledge about power, privilege, identity, and intersectionality. Then, participants will explore what allyship means on the ground and how they can become more effective allies. What does it mean to be an ally? How does allyship differ across various identities and various issues? When should an ally step in, and when should an ally defer to someone else? We'll discuss all these strategies and more.
