How allyship can look

Let’s talk about the many ways that allyship can look like in action. As a reminder, an ally stands up against injustice and supports people of marginalized identities. Here we go:

• In your organization, when discussing hiring needs, you can advocate for having a diverse candidate pool.

• If you see a person of color being the target of racism, you can intervene by speaking up, recording the incident on your cell phone, or asking the person how you could assist them.
• As a teacher or parent, you could gather support to get a much-needed wheelchair ramp built.
• If you’re in a position of influence, you can help provide access to people that others couldn’t have reached without your support.
