Allies & Accomplices: Moving Beyond the Fear of Accountability

Join the Queer Activist Collective and BU Student Government for an interactive allyship training led by Monae Roberts (they/she), Director of the UC Davis LGBTQIA Resource Center. This training will provide an opportunity to acknowledge and discuss the ways fear has historically hindered well-intentioned allies and accomplices from showing up for social change. Participants will explore barriers, and tools for overcoming them, including helping folks to reconcile their marginalized identities with their privilege in order to align ourselves with positive social change. This training will take place over two 1-hour sessions on Tuesday, 11/10, and Thursday, 11/12 from 7:00-8:00 pm EST. Participants are encouraged to attend both training sessions, but are not required to do so. To register, please visit http://tinyurl.com/QTPOCAlly and you will be sent the Zoom information via email. Limited to 130 participants. ***CW: the content in this training will necessarily engage with issues such as racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia, and violence as ways by which people cause harm to others, which may be emotionally and intellectually challenging for participants to engage with. We will do our best to make this a space in which participants can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully, but please prioritize your own safety and wellbeing as needed.***

When 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm every 2 days until Thursday, November 12, 2020
