Allyship in action: How to be a workplace advocate and move beyond performative support for LGBTQIA+ colleagues

Catalyst defines allyship as actively supporting people from marginalized groups. Advocacy, however, is taking action and building relationships within and across groups to drive positive, structural change on a systemic issue.

Watch this webinar as we dive into the important role advocacy plays in creating more inclusivity for LGBTQIA+ team members. We will discuss:

• Key barriers faced by LGBTQIA+ community members in and out of the workplace.
• Moving beyond “armchair allyship.”
• Creating safe workspaces that help develop a sense of belonging for LGBTQIA+ colleagues.
• Being conscious of intersectionality and proactive about inclusion.
