Training Tag(s): Operations

Remember the infamous spreadsheet? IYKYK. Sexual harassment and identity-based discrimination happen everywhere, even in progressive campaigns and organizations. What do you do when perpetrators consider themselves feminist, anti-racist, and/or allies? We’re not here to just spill the tea on our experiences but to envision creating safer workspaces. As people working for social change, we can start in our own organizations.
