DESCRIPTION:After the election of Donald Trump, many of us have been reconsidering our 
 practice as allies, and how to best use our societal advantages for good in 
 the world. Come learn practical responses at the Post-Election Ally Skills 
 Workshop at Double Union on Saturday, December 10th, from 1:30 to 4 PM. 
 Double Union's membership applications are also now open from Dec 5- Dec 
 18, come to the event and see the attached flyer if you are interested in 
 becoming a member!This workshop focuses on teaching basic ally skills 
 responses to sexism, racism, Islamophobia and transphobia, with a few 
 post-election twists, including examining how to decide when to intervene 
 in a hostile situation, and how to talk to defensive people. The format of 
 the workshop will include small-group discussion time to come up with 
 multiple responses that make sense for each person. We’re calling out 
 that “it’s complicated” because we’re interested in exploring the 
 spaces where it’s hard to know whether to intervene or not, with an eye 
 towards developing criteria to help allies step in. One caveat: this is not 
 an appropriate venue to discuss whether sexism, racism, Islamophobia or 
 transphobia exist. That is outside the scope of this workshop.\nThe 
 workshop will last 2.5 hours, including a break. Snacks will be provided. 
 This event is open to Double Union members, guests, and the general public. 
 People of all genders are welcome. DU’s Base Assumptions
