So you want to be an ally, do you?

Do your own emotional and intellectual labor, including processing what those terms mean. Anti-racism writings and resources have been around since Rousseau.

Find a book. Read the articles. Familiarize yourself with the data. Then begin the work of thinking strategically and creatively. Our systems are infected with racism. It corrupts everything. Every. Single. Thing. From the simple joy of bird watching to bonds of friendship and family. Every act of resistance against it matters, whether sharing power and privilege with people on the frontlines or calling it out each and every time its ugly face rears.

So, do something. Daily.
