Ally

Who is an ally?

An all will amplify our voice

Without trying to be our voice

Share our story

Without owning our story

Stand with us,

protest with us,

be present,

create a platform

Without taking over our agenda

An ally will empathize

Without the assumption that they understand our experience,

An ally will know that that

They will never be able to understand our experience

Will recognize their privilege

Will know that pointing out their privilege

Is not a personal attack

An ally will know to create opportunities using their privilege
