What does it mean to be an accomplice or ally?

Anti-Racism For Beginners 201

 

Allyship is not just for white folks, we work on this all year, for all targeted identities.

Are your kids equipped with the tools they need to be upstanders, accomplices, and supportive friends? Do they know the difference between saviorism and solidarity? Do they know when to listen, when to pass the mic, and when to weaponize unearned privilege to dismantle the kyriarchy?

Quick reference from our word bank:

  • An ally is a person who believes you deserve equality.
  • An accomplice is a person who actively works alongside you to end injustice and harm against you.
  • A conspirator is someone you work together with to end unfair rules that harm both of you.
