[Neil Planchon (neil]

Hello everyone

Over the last few weeks, I have received emails (thank you!) and several of you 
have asked about Addressing Microaggressions in Community. 

‼️FIC is hosting Addressing Microaggressions in Community webinar TODAY (March 
8th) at 11AM Pacific / Eastern: 2PM (Virtual Event] ::  Register here 
https://www.ic.org/event/addressing-microaggressions/

Join author, organizer and consultant Crystal Byrd Farmer to learn how you can 
mindfully address microaggressions in your community.

About the event…. A microaggression is a subtle but offensive comment or action 
that causes a marginalized person to feel like the “Other”. These small acts 
can have a big impact, causing harm and contributing to a culture where 
marginalized people feel unwelcome. In Addressing Microaggressions in your 
Community, you will gain a greater understanding of microaggressions and how 
you can create a more inclusive community.

During this session, you will be provided with the tools you need to recognize 
and respond to microaggressions in your everyday life. You’ll learn about 
microaggressions related to race, gender, sexuality, disability, and other 
aspects of diversity. You’ll also learn practical strategies for addressing 
microaggressions through calling in or calling out, and gain an appreciation 
for the nuances of speaking up for marginalized people whether they are in the 
room or not.

Join us for this 1-hour webinar gain a greater understanding of 
microaggressions and how you can create a more inclusive community as well as 
get a taste for our upcoming 5-week course, Understanding Diversity in your 
Community - https://www.ic.org/understanding-diversity-in-community/

In this webinar, you’ll learn about:
    • types of microaggressions
    • how to call in or call out microaggressions
    • the stages of response to a call in or call out
    • when to speak up vs letting a marginalized person handle it themselves
