How To Be An Ally

Shelley Hayes-MacDonald

Being an Ally is a verb and it requires action. At times, we don’t know how to navigate this and are afraid of doing it wrong. There are many allies who are ready and willing to take action to address inequities but are unclear how. This workshop focuses on important yet practical ways for allies to support people experiencing systemic oppression in their workplaces and communities. The practical tools produced in this workshop are developed in three layers - what people can do for themselves, what we can do for each other and what managers can do for their teams.
