“There is more than one way to take action and it doesn’t always have to happen at the time. There is so many factors that go into the decision to take action but it is all our responsibility to take action and create safety. Looking at the different ways to be an active bystander was helpful and challenged my preconceived ideas of what it is to be an active bystander”
“It gave me confidence to be an active bystander”

“I hadn’t heard of the term intersectionality [sic] so I now understand what it means and have some ideas on applying it.” – participant of Inclusive Workplaces: Intersectionality in Action workshop
