Let's Talk Oppression & Hold Each Other Accountable

In our daily lives, we consciously and unconsciously witness or perpetrate violence towards people who identify at the margins. During this workshop, we’ll explore how gender based violence and forms of oppression are inadvertently intertwined. This workshop will provide tools to give and receive feedback in the workplace and with allied professionals. Participants will practice how to engage in difficult conversations to hold each other accountable when we cause harm.
