HEU’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is critical to building a powerful, inclusive union for all. As part of our DEI work HEU is offering this one-day workshop, Queer, Trans and Two-Spirit Justice for Allies.
By learning about one another, and how we can support each other, we can work together to help dismantle barriers and systems that create oppression.
During this one-day workshop, participants will:
• Review terminology and definitions in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community (and what those letters mean!).
• Explore challenges and barriers 2SLGBTQIA+ folk may experience in workplaces and wider society.
• Learn about the impact of oppression on gender and sexually diverse workers.
• Understand what an ally is and what allyship looks like in practice.
• Discuss some of the current issues in the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community.
In consultation with the HEU Pink Triangle Standing Committee, this workshop is designed for allies of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, not for those who identify as queer, trans, or 2-Spirit.
Workshop date and application deadline:
