They simply need the tools to speak up and encourage themselves and others to be allies, according to Rep. David Lake City, who spoke Tuesday on "Men as Litvack, Allies" at the Women's Resource Center. About 20 people D-S- alt attended. "Everyone has the potential to be an ally," Litvack said. "Being OK with failure is what helps me be an ally. If there's a situation where I should have said something, but didn't, i take it as a learning moment, and I make sure I say something the next time." An ally is someone who seeks opportunities to use his or her knowledge, personal resources and commitment to help a group of which the person is not a member, Litvack said. When a man wants to become an ally, he doesn't need to give up his privilege, but rather share it, Litvack said. He focused on people in groups sharing their in "target" groups. privilege with those is He described a person as someone between 30 and 60, Christian, heterosexual, male and white. All others fall into the category of "target" People in the group have privilege, he said.

But because she wants to learn the language, she started attending the College of Law's Spanish for Lawyers class when it began last week. "It's nice of the law students," Gonzalez said. "I really appreciate them volunteering their time to teach us Spanish." Spanish for lawyers is part of the law school's Pro Bono Initiative, whereby lawyers and students volunteer their time for specific projects. The school offers a free advanced and beginning Spanish class Tuesday and Thursday. About 25 are enrolled between the two classes, and eight volunteers teach the classes, two per session. While one of the teachers is a native speaker, most learned Spanish on missions for The Church of Jesus Saints.

Litvack addressed the question, "What do men lose when they become allies?" "It takes courage to take the risk of losing privilege and access to the system," he said. Allies need to know how to communicate with those they want to help. "It's not knowing English or French or Spanish, but knowing what language people will respond to," he said. He cited hate crime legislation in Utah as an example of needing to speak the language of others.

Men need to look at the situation of target groups . "Because I'm white, if I'm running late for work, I don't need to plan extra time into my day because I'm going to get pulled over," he said. Even having the freedom to not worry about such a situation is a privilege, Litvack said. "If you want to talk to me about sexual assault, you can come to me. But I've worked through some of my own sexism.
