What is diversity and why is it important? What's the difference between equality and equity and shouldn't we be striving to treat all people equally? What does it mean to be inclusive?

What does it mean to have privilege? What is oppression? How do your social identities, such as race, gender, class, religion, sexuality, etc. grant or deny you privilege? How can we use privilege to transform systems that perpetuate social inequity? This 2-hour interactive webinar will explore these questions, providing participants with an opportunity to delve into their social identities - a process that reveals how we all have and lack privilege simultaneously – and discover ways to leverage privilege to achieve allyship with people from marginalized groups.

In this 2-hour interactive webinar, we will explore some of the most common expressions of bias and identify tools participants can use as an active bystander to interrupt bias in daily life.
