Across the Table: Calling in Friends & Family During the Holidays
Monday, November 20th 6:30-8:30 PM
When it comes to our friends and families, speaking up against interpersonal violence & harm or oppressive ideologies can be challenging and complex. When sitting across the table from someone, perhaps sharing space, food, or traditions with beloved ones -- how do we intervene? In this workshop, you'll co-create strategies of care and safety for yourself and for others. You'll explore the connections between oppressive ideologies, and how they show up in our institutions and relationships. You'll learn tools and strategies to create systems of support, and intervene when microaggressions occur.
