Active Allyship: Actions Over Announcement
Allyship isn't a title you claim; it's work you do when no one's watching. This workshop moves beyond performative solidarity to explore what meaningful support actually looks like in practice. We'll examine why good intentions don't equal good impact, what it means to risk something for someone else's equity, and how to recognize moments where your voice or action could shift outcomes. Participants will understand the difference between optical allyship and operational change, learn to use privilege as a tool for equity rather than a shield for comfort, and develop sustainable practices that don't center their own growth story. You'll leave with concrete actions and accountability measures.
