We all have the power to make a difference. But first, let\u2019s explore the term \u201cally,\u201d and what it means to be one. What is an ally? An ally is someone who has privilege, but chooses to stand for and with marginalized communities by taking tangible, ongoing actions to dismantle systems of oppression. To become an ally, you must work to develop empathy toward another group\u2019s challenges, finding ways to help carry the burden as your own. Who can become an ally? Anyone and everyone has the potential to be an ally! The key thing to understand about allies is that, although they are not members of the marginalized group(s) they support, they make a conscious effort to understand their struggle and use their own privilege to speak out. Being an ally is hard work, and you can\u2019t become one overnight\u2014but remember, mistakes are expected, and they shouldn\u2019t discourage you from trying. Keep working to develop your perspective and take an active role in fighting for what\u2019s right. What tangible steps can you take to get started? First: listen, listen, listen. For allies who aren\u2019t sure where to start, listening to the voices of those who are often silenced is among the most meaningful actions you can take. The best way to learn, understand, and develop empathy is to listen. Next, educate yourself. Remember, it\u2019s not your nonbinary coworker\u2019s job to give you a lesson on gender identity, for example. Search for books, documentaries, and news features that can teach you something you didn\u2019t know. This will empower you to have important conversations with other people, too, creating opportunities for meaningful connection and action. Also, speak up! Become a vocal ally to marginalized groups on social media platforms and in public spaces, such as peaceful protests and demonstrations. Make your voice heard at the voting poll, locally and nationally. Call and write your legislators about pressing issues that affect marginalized groups. Last but not least, use your privilege to give back, whether it\u2019s donating to an organization that aligns with your advocacy or mentoring someone in an underserved community. Use your privilege to expand access to those who need it most. Gather a group of friends, family, and\/or colleagues to join you in volunteering efforts. The more you can encourage others to follow your example, the more you can impact your local community.\u00a0 Below is a list of resources that can help you get started on becoming an ally. This list is not comprehensive or exhaustive, but it provides a great starting point for tapping into other perspectives.
