Intersectionality acknowledges that while some populations share similar experiences of discrimination, harassment, sexism, inequality and oppression on the basis of their sex, race and gender, not all are equally impacted or have equal access to resources, power and privilege.</p> <p>We will have lightning speakers exploring this theme. As always, we’ll have our Recruiter Roll Call and Virtual Job Seekers Lounge.</p> <p>And for those of you looking to connect on camera, we will come together face-to-face (or screen-to-screen) after the presentations for a little dose of community.</p> <p>We will have ASL interpretation and live closed captioning throughout. Contact <a href="mailto:hello@pdxwit.org">hello@pdxwit.org</a> if you have other accessibility needs.</p> <p>Hope to see you there!</p> <p>Agenda: 12:00 p.m. - Zoom Webinar Open/Virtual Networking 12:03 p.m. - Introductions + Announcements 12:10 p.m. - Lightning Talks 12:20 p.m. - Recruiter Roll Call 12:40 p.m. - Virtual Job Seekers Section via Slack/Face-to-Face Networking 1:00 p.m. - Event ends</p> <p>Purpose: We are building a better tech industry by creating access, dismantling barriers and fueling belonging.</p> <p>Our events are inclusive. ALL people who support our purpose are welcome.</p> </div> </div>
