About Us
We believe in the duality of allyship.
We can need an ally while also practicing allyship. Sometimes people aren't around to practice allyship for us. Other times, it may not be appropriate for them to speak up. We need to be better prepared to practice allyship for ourselves.
We must recognize that we're multi-identity people. Society enables privilege for some parts of our identities while oppressing other parts. We have to use our privilege to show up for those whose identities are oppressed.
Our Vision
We envision a world where people know how to practice allyship and are prepared to do so in active and responsible ways. We see a world full of empowered people who are their own allies as well as allies for others.
