Target Audience:Certified, non-certified and student interpreters; members of the Deaf community* Please note: Deaf and H/H participants are invited to join this workshop free of charge via a promo code. See Registration Information below.Workshop Description: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 address privileges, individual and systematic biases and barriers, marginalization of ASL and Deaf culture, and the dynamics of social and systemic oppression. To address these long-standing issues that negatively impact the Deaf community, Corey will identify multiple ways sign language interpreters can effectively provide long-term individual and collective strategic support that will benefit the Deaf and interpreting communities.After this workshop, participants will:●	Gain sensitivity and competence needed to effectively engage in conversations about overt oppression and the “-isms” the Deaf community faces; ●	Identify and acknowledge potential where individuals’ powers and privileges may inadvertently or unintentionally oppress marginalized populations; and●	Understand and apply best practices to challenge the existing status quo and injustices.
