ALT "I personally don’t want the flashy signs or symbols of allyship, I’m not looking for the buttons and t-shirts and hashtags. I want an ally who pays attention to what is happening outside their own community or perspective. I want an ally who knows that these things are happening to people like me, without me needing to tell them that they are happening to people like me." - Megan Carpenter
ALT Look, this is a hard problem to solve, and you're going to hear terms like activism and things that sound like you can make a difference safely from the sidelines. To make a real difference, you're going to have to figure out what you stand for and then stand for it, every day, 24/7, regardless. As long as you're consistent in how you model that message and how you live that reality, then people will know where you are coming from. You'll be consistently living your values out loud every day. In my honest opinion, that's what makes you a potential ally. All I'm asking from you, from anyone, is honest, intentional, internal consistency. Think about what that means to you before you commit to a course of action.
