GUIDE TO ALLYSHIP
An evolving open-source guide to help you become a more thoughtful and effective ally.
SO YOU WANT TO BE AN ALLY.
Welcome to the Guide to Allyship, a tool meant to provide you with the resources for becoming a more effective ally.
In light of recent events and tragedies, I’ve been hearing the word “ally” a lot. In fact, there are many who want to be “allies”, but are unable to fulfill the duties allyship requires.
TO BE AN ALLY IS TO…
-
Take on the struggle as your own.
-
Stand up, even when you feel scared.
-
Transfer the benefits of your privilege to those who lack it.
-
Acknowledge that while you, too, feel pain, the conversation is not about you.
