This is part 1 of a 2-part workshop series designed for individuals with a desire to strategize and improve how they respond when racism and other isms show up in their workplaces, communities and personal lives.

This learning space is open to everyone, with a focus on interrupting racism directed to people more impacted than you: Black and darker skin folks. BIPOC folks will NOT be expected to teach white folks.

Part 2 of this workshop series will give participants an opportunity to practice interrupting. We will develop responses, strategies and practice through various activities and scenarios.

Workshop Objectives include (but are not limited to):

• Understanding the importance of interrupting
• Exploring our individual “why,” positionalities and potential consequences for interrupting
• Exploring how power dynamics impact our ability to interrupt
• Learning various interrupting techniques
