Fostering Queer and Trans-Inclusive Environments at Work and Beyond

This 2-part interactive workshop will help you and your teams gain a deeper understanding of 2SLGBTQ communities and how to begin fostering more affirming spaces at work (and beyond) that celebrate the dignity of queer and trans people. You will learn common terms used by and for 2SLGBTQ folks, deepen your understanding of self-determination, and discuss the importance of using and respecting people’s pronouns. You will learn about discrimination on based on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and explore best practices on interrupting violence and harm and how to be an ally to/for 2SLGBTQ communities.

Please note, we ask that registrants are able to confirm their ability to end both workshop dates, as this is a 2-part series.

Seats are limited! Please register ASAP. We will email participants a confirmation email shortly with the Zoom Meeting Details.
