About the event
When people with marginalized identities experience harm in a community, they often withdraw from community life or leave altogether. If you’re a community member who wants to know why, this workshop is for you! In Understanding and Addressing Diversity Related Harm in Community, we’ll discuss the common types of harm that occur around identity (microaggressions) and tools for addressing the harm in the moment as well as after it has occurred. We’ll also cover ways to initiate accountability processes and healing around specific incidents.
In this workshop, you’ll:
- learn about microaggressions
- practice call ins and call outs
- learn how to listen to someone’s account of harm with compassion and care
- use the 5 Whys to address systemic issues
- learn how to re-write or create policies to cover identity-related harm
