What It Takes; Why Its Crucial — And The Role We All Play In Making Change

SRE Network is excited to join SVIVAH on Wednesday, July 12 from 5-6:30 pm PT/8-9:30 pm ET as we continue our exploration of “upstanding” — what it takes, what it does, and why it is an essential piece of creating a world that reflects the values we hold dear.

Join us for this post-Convening follow up session to continue the work and learning we began together at the Convening. In this session, Ariele Mortkowitz and Rabbanit Aliza Sperling from SVIVAH will lead an exploration of the ideas from the Convening that resonated most, where we are finding ourselves most challenged, and what we’ve started to prioritize in our action planning. Together, we’ll reflect on and share how SRE Network can be more supportive in moving each of our work forward.

In this session, Nicole Nevarez and Dr. Andrea Jacobs from Ta’amod will identify the most common types of disrespectful workplace behavior that undermine psychological safety and contribute to an unhealthy workplace culture and then focus on intervention strategies. Together, we’ll explore practices organizational leaders can apply when we experience or witness problematic behaviors.

Amee Wurzburg and Stephanie Gray from Sacred Spaces will share how to develop regular opportunities for your community to engage with your policies. They’ll explore best practices, the considerations and steps for your planning process, and concrete ways to communicate your policies and train your staff.

You’re invited to this interactive session to understand better how the findings can serve as a roadmap for the work ahead to build more safe, respectful and equitable workplaces and communal spaces.

Based on her book, Breaking the Silence Habit, Sarah Pierson will explore why conversations about sexual harassment and violence are important and how these conversations work to prevent and respond to these behaviors.
