What is an ally? What does allyship look like in practice? Historically, allies use their agency to challenge systems that exclude minoritized communities. However, this term can often be misunderstood or misused in a way that perpetuates harm to the very communities we want to support.

This session will define what it means to be an ally and why allyship is important to the animal welfare profession. Together, we will explore actions to support diverse communities and become better allies.
