  Workshop details:

  This workshop encourages participants to take a closer look at the perceived and actual benefits of strategic community allyship. Through Deaf lens, Corey Axelrod – founder and CEO of 2axend – will identify multiple ways sign language interpreters can effectively provide long-term strategic support that will collectively benefit the Deaf and interpreting communities.

  Participants will be able to:

  • Identify  differences between allyship and advocating for an individual person;
  • List strategies to identify how to best support a marginalized group; and
  • List tips to hold other interpreters accountable for their actions.
