Trans/forming Allyship: From Awareness to Action for Trans Inclusion
3-part online training series
DATES:
Fridays February 5, 12, 19, 11am-1pm Central time / 12-2 pm Eastern
It's more obvious than ever that racial justice and gender justice must go hand in hand. Trans/forming Allyship means that trans allyship is always intersectional. In this iteration of our 3-part Trans/forming Allyship intensive, we'll reflect on the current moment and how #BlackTransLivesMatter can be reflected in our allyship at every level.
Sliding scale registration, $0 - $125
The sliding-scale registration fee operates on the "honor system," to keep the workshop accessible to people with a range of means. We trust you to select the price category that's fair for you.
More about this workshop:
You know you want to support trans individuals and communities, but you're not always 100% sure how to do that well. This is the workshop for you.
Maybe you've been meaning to work on this for a while. Maybe being home with your family 24/7 is reminding you how much you don't know. Whatever the reason, we welcome you to learn and practice with us.
In spite of increasing acceptance of transgender identities, trans community members still face intense stigma, violence and barriers to participation. Many parents, service providers, and community leaders have good intentions about trans inclusion - and, with a deeper understanding and expanded toolbox, they can build on those intentions to create truly trans-inclusive practices. This workshop is for anyone who is motivated to build their capacity to more effectively support trans people in their personal, professional and community contexts.
Through a lively combination of short presentations, small- and large-group discussions, practical exercises and collaborative problem-solving, participants will:
- Gain understanding of trans identities and experiences as they intersect with race and other kinds of identity
- Examine personal, organizational, and community barriers to inclusion of trans people, especially multiply marginalized trans people
- Develop strategies to support trans people in everyday interactions and in their professional roles
- Plan next steps to put their allyship into action, while staying in touch with the needs and priorities of trans communities

To access this workshop you will need a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone. If you're not used to this kind of online environment, don't worry - we'll help you figure it out!
