Ally Week: Trans Allyship in a Trump Administration

Event Description:
Join us for a workshop on the issues facing transgender women, led by LaLa Zannell, Lead Organizer at the New York City Anti-Violence Project (AVP). Come engage with LaLa on topics of gender, gender identity and sexuality while learning LaLa's incredible story as a trans women of color. LaLa has spoken at the White House for the first Women's history month briefing to include trans women and the last trans women of color briefing under the Obama administration, and testified at the first historic Congressional Forum on violence against transgender people. Over the course of this workshop, you'll learn not only about the struggles that propel LaLa to her work, but also the ways in which allies can create positive change for the trans community.

Brave Space Norms: 
Allyship (n.) is the active and consistent practice of unlearning and re-evaluating beliefs and actions, in which a person seeks to work in solidarity with a marginalized individual or group of people.

As a Stern Community, we seek to further develop allyship within ourselves and others by struggling against biases that we internalize. No one is perfect. Systems of oppression can and do show up in our thoughts, actions, and behaviors. We commit to practicing accountability and compassion. 

As a Stern Community, we ask that you embrace our goal of collective development by speaking up to constructively challenge the group on difficult issues, withholding judgement of others, and maintaining privacy of sensitive information.
