UNDERSTANDING SYSTEMS OF OPPRESSION & BUILDING ALLYSHIP FOR ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
|
Session Description:Creating meaningful change within organizations requires more than good intentions—it demands a clear understanding of how systems of oppression show up in our structures, cultures, and everyday practices. This session invites participants to explore the historical and ongoing impact of systems like racism, sexism, ableism, and classism, and how they shape power, privilege, and exclusion in the workplace.
Through facilitated dialogue, self-reflection, and applied learning, participants will unpack how these systems operate both explicitly and implicitly—and how we may unconsciously reinforce them. The session also explores what it means to practice authentic allyship at the individual, interpersonal, and organizational levels. Rather than performative gestures, we’ll focus on sustained action, accountability, and relational approaches to equity work. |

Join us for a powerful, virtual learning session that traces the deep roots of the environmental justice movement and examines how long-standing systems of oppression have shaped the environmental challenges we face today. In Environmental Justice: Legacy and History, we’ll explore the key historical moments, policies, and resistance movements that laid the foundation for today’s environmental justice efforts. From early community-led organizing to present-day frontline activism, we’ll uncover how racism, classism, and systemic inequities are deeply intertwined with environmental degradation—and how that history still shapes access, policy, and public health outcomes.
