We Don’t Need More Allies

Allyship is a practice! Allyship is a set of behaviors that must be demonstrated consistently, especially when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or unglamorous.

My preferred term is Equity Broker. Being an Equity Broker means helping to alter the policies and practices everywhere that they are needed, at work, at school, at home, in your neighborhoods, literally everywhere. This means never going off the clock and putting your ally hat away; it is true labor. Equity Brokers understand that there is power in diversity and are prepared to put words to action by giving up their power.
