TRANS ACTION: A Step by Step Workshop for Allyship in Actionįlorida's Senate Bill 254 is one of the most devastating anti-LGBTQ pieces of legislation in the country - and there are currently 474 the ACLU is tracking - and it was just signed into law. He has given over 450 trans literacy and inclusion trainings across the country and beyond and brings this expertise to his seminar series. As seen on The Ellen Show and The Olympic Channel, Schuyler was the first transgender athlete to compete on an NCAA D1 men’s team, competing for Harvard's winningest team in 50 years. Schuyler Bailar (he/him) is an internationally renowned inspirational speaker and inclusion advocate. Join for a 2.5-hour workshop on hands-on allyship for the trans community.ĪGENDA: (1) a brief review of the political landscape as well as relevant terminology to situate everyone in context, (2) Schuyler's allyship toolkit, (3) dissection of four scenarios to demonstrate use of allyship tools, and (4), Q&A, for which there will be ample time. When we learn how to shift our day-to-day interactions towards allyship, we can save lives. We do not have to be lawyers, politicians, doctors, or otherwise politically powerful people to make meaningful change. True and lasting change not only comes when leadership shifts, but also when society does. Trans people, of course, do not need to be eradicated. "Transgenderism must be eradicated," claimed one conservative commentator. Everyone seems to be discussing where trans people belong - or, rather, where they believe we don't belong. Over 400+ anti-trans bills litter the political landscape. Schuyler's workshops are a great place for allies (and people in the community!) to better understand the landscape of anti-trans legislation, as well as to get practical tips to take action to make a change.Ĭompanies and individuals can benefit from his work (and note, if you can't make tonight, he is hosting another on June 20).Ģ023 has already seen record-breaking numbers of anti-transgender legislation across the country, attacking mostly trans children in healthcare, schools, and sports. Tonight trans advocate and FOLX ambassador Schuyler Bailar is hosting one of his powerful workshops on allyship in action.
