The Guide to Allyship

An open source starter guide to help you become a more thoughtful and effective ally.

To be an Ally is to:

• Take on the struggle as your own.
• Transfer the benefits of your privilege to those who lack it.
• Amplify voices of the oppressed before your own.
• Acknowledge that even though you feel pain, the conversation is not about you.
• Stand up, even when you feel scared.
• Own your mistakes and de-center yourself.
• Understand that your education is up to you and no one else.
