Allyship Toolkit Part 2: Affirming LGBTQIA+ People, Organizational Allyship

In this workshop for LGBQA+ and straight people as well as for TQIA+ and cisgender people (and people whose identities overlap), you will learn and practice interrupting systemic oppression of LGBTQIA+ people in your classrooms, offices, and conversations. You will learn about and practice identifying how multiple systems of oppression (including racism, ableism, classism, and sexism) overlap with heterosexism and cisgenderism on our campus. You will reflect on your own social identities, your relationship with systems of oppression, and your roles in interrupting oppression to make campus safer and more welcoming for all LGBTQIA+ communities.
