CANCELED: Safe Zone: Advocates

Tuesday, January 28, 2020 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Safe Zone Advocates training is the second in the Safe Zone series and was created to further individual knowledge and understanding of LGBTQ+ issues. The training is geared toward helping attendees explore, identify, and expose cultural biases and acquire skills necessary for advocating for marginalized populations.

Participants who complete both trainings (LGBTQ+ 101 and Safe Zone Advocates) are designated as Safe Zone Advocates and can be identified by a Safe Zone placard.

Training Objectives:
* Increase insight into personal and cultural biases

* Increase awareness of the impact these biases have on interactions with LGBTQ+ individuals

* Increase comfort in addressing systemic oppressions that affect LGBTQ+ individuals

* Increase ability to identify micro-aggressions that impact LGBTQ+ individuals

*Increase comfort in discussing power, privilege, and oppression

* Acquire skills and knowledge to increase ability to advocate

* Increase understanding that being an ally is an ongoing and active process
