This will be a mostly free-form workshop/working session about Equity and Inclusion in all different spaces of the project - science collaborations, operations, in-kind contributors, member and partner institutions all have a responsibility to uphold the values of the Rubin/LSST project. The goal of the session is for participants to have the proper tools to evaluate an organization that is successful in D&I, and what allyship is. This workshop will be a host of potentially difficult conversations and will ask participants to lean-in to discomfort and emotional work. 

Agenda:

First half of the session: DEI Organizational/Collaborative Assessment - open discussion about how to "grade" the organization/collaboration

Second half of the session: Individual impact - how to be an ally, and how to build trust
