Our human nature is to be and act in relationship with one another. One aspect of this relationality is to act in solidarity with others. So by nature, we are designed to act in solidarity. If we aren’t paying attention, however, we tend to act in solidarity, by default, with people who are similar. Men, by default, act in solidarity with other men; white people, by default, act in solidarity with other white people; heterosexual people, by default, act in solidarity with other heterosexual people… It takes intentionality and practice to act in solidarity with “others.”

This interactive workshop, designed for people of privilege, will define solidarity, and will help participants to develop their confidence and abilities to engage in solidarity with people who are most marginalized and/or impacted by injustice and oppression.
