Action and Advocacy Training is the portion of ally training dedicated to developing hard skills to practice allyship to the LGBTQ+ community.  Though it is not necessary to complete the Awareness and Empathy ally training before attending the Action and Advocacy training, participants are expected to come into the Action and Advocacy training with a working knowledge of sex, gender, and sexuality and basic understanding of the LGBTQ+ community.  If interested participants do not have this foundational knowledge, they are encouraged to attend the Awareness and Empathy training before registering for the Action and Advocacy training.

Through the  Action and Advocacy training, participants will:

• Gain a working understanding of allyship, equity, and intersectionality when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community.
• Learn how to interrupt homophobic and transphobic behavior
• Begin to assess their professional environments and highlight areas which are LGBTQ+ inclusive and areas which can be improved
