When we are faced with and witness systemic oppression, many people feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do. While we see the racism, cisgenderism, sexism, heterosexism, etc. that is happening, we are often immobilized by a lack of knowledge of what actions we can take to interrupt the cycle of oppression and support positive change. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the Cycle of Oppression, and find ways to dismantle the cycle through examining and understanding stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination, social power.
