Being an Ally: Tips on how to be an ally beyond saying that you are

Allyship is aligned with building a culture of equity. To be an ally is to unite oneself with another to promote a common interest.  Allies are not only helpers, but also have a common interest with those they desire to help. In an alliance, both parties stand to benefit from the bond or connection they share.  Beyond calling yourself an ally, what are you actively doing as an ally to create a culture of inclusion?

Join us to hear diverse voices on what allyship looks like to them based on their experiences and viewpoints. During this session, the panel will share how they view allyship and what positive programs and activities in the legal community have been successful. Attendees will then breakout into smaller groups with guided discussion questions to share experiences and challenges associated with being an ally.
