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.

  • 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.
