什么是盟友
Hi, my name is Lauryn and I am an ally. Due to my skin color, ethnicity (I’m white), and sexual preference, I have been afforded many privileges. These privileges are so engrained in society that as a white/straight person, “heterosexual/白色特权“如果你活着,很容易被忽视。这些优势包括:通常与警方或权威的积极关系,在媒体中偏向于我的比赛,从种族主义或偏见的沟渠被绝缘,能够结婚,无论我想要的地方都能去由于皮肤的颜色,不必害怕被谋杀。
As a straight, white woman, I can be an ally to the Black and non-Black people of color, as well as LGBTQ communities.An ally is someone with privilege who stands with and in support of marginalized communities to dismantle systems of oppression.
边缘化社区
要成为一个盟友,你必须支持边缘化社区。BIPOC是一种代表黑色,土着和颜色人的首字母缩写。LGBTQ是一个代表女同性恋,同性恋,双性恋,跨性别和奇怪/质疑的首字母缩写。这些是边缘化的社区,这意味着它们是,“a group [that] is denied involvement in mainstream economic, political, cultural and social activities due to their living conditions, lifestyles or exclusion.”

Ways to be an Ally to BIPOC and LGBTQ
有很多方法可以成为一个盟友,但这里有十个步骤,以确保你正在练习allyship。
主动倾听
在这些现代时期,从来没有更容易获得的信息和人们在理解之前更大的倾向。倾听不仅仅是听到边缘化的团体,它也在听取你可能所知道的BIPOC和LGBTQ人面前的声音。记住,这不是你的朋友的工作,教你如何成为一个盟友,但是只愿意在说话之前可以听到很多东西。在询问边缘化的集团成员一个关于他们的压迫的问题之前,谷歌首先,采取主动学习方法,不要让别人觉得自己的学习是他们的负担。有很多书籍,媒体,电影,文章和声音,已经说过了不公正。当他们说话并做自己的研究时倾听他们的声音。
Don’t Make it About Yourself
这不是你或我。作为直接和/或白人,我们没有遭受BIPOC和LGBTQ每日交易的缺点。在讲述边缘化的群体时,很重要的是放大他们的声音而不是将自己居中居中。如何做到这一点是社交媒体。而不是发布您对当前事件或您在黑人生活中的待遇的感受或骄傲地关注那些生活在那些斗争的人的信息和经验。当然,每种情况都是独一无二的,有时它是allyship成为声乐的重要经历。然而,不要通过自己的镜头讲述别人历史的叙述,也不适合让BIPoC或LGBTQ对你感到不好,因为你学会成为一个盟友。谈论如何了解如何达到平等的说法并不关注对他人的压迫它关注自己的压迫。这些动作是关于提升抑制人民的社区,使其平等,这也意味着等同的声音。
Get Educated and Continue to Learn
Being an ally means becoming a lifelong learner. It takes continuous work and education to begin to understand what it feels like to be alienated as a group of people. Personally, I have found it is best to think & educate myself before I speak. This is a difficult thing for many people who are used to being well regarded, respected, and listened to in their communities and professions. It is crucial that a true ally of BIPOC and LGBTQ people be humble in their pursuit of information and understanding.
Get Involved
参与盟友宣告的程度可以大大变化,但关键是保持与运动的支持。这意味着签署请愿书,打电话,发送电子邮件,在社交媒体上发布社交媒体,在社交媒体上的LGBTQ账户,并在BIPOC和LGBTQ拥有的企业支出金钱。
Speak Up
如果你看到有人麦e an ignorant or indecent comment, it’s an ally’s job to say something. This happens more and more frequently online than off, but standing up for what is right wether in a social media feed or on the street is of equal importance. Call attention to people’s inappropriate behavior, first with understanding and kindness, to teach them to do better. The goal is not to argue but to educate others. People who feel like they’re being castigated or scolded are more likely to bristle up and resist what you have to say if you do so with scorn. Remember, passive silence allows the voice of the oppressor to be heard, allies should be heard more.
Intervene
This step is a bit more tricky, because BIPOC and LGBTQ are individuals and may not want someone else fighting their battle. Be sure that before intervening, you allow them to be heard. The goal is not to take away a marginalized community’s opportunity to stand up for itself but to stand with and assist them where you can. However, if you see violent acts being committed due to someone’s skin color or lifestyle, it is time to do something and help out a fellow human by stopping the brutality. Violence is not the answer whether on the side of right or wrong, and all life must be regarded as safe and protected.
出现
如果您被邀请参加一个以支持运动,请走!站在你长期被压制的朋友旁边是支持他们的巨大方式。认识到您信任足以被邀请,这是一个盟友的大荣誉。
Sit with Discomfort
The realization that straight, white privilege has afforded opportunities will be uncomfortable. It will remain uncomfortable while unpacking this system of oppression. An ally understands that talking about intolerance is a difficult conversation that require self-reflection and disagreeable feelings. Remember that growth comes from being on the edge of the comfort zone and can only happen when pushing through that feeling.
从错误中学习
同样,虽然作为盟友的成长,但将会产生错误。道歉,教育,解决这些错误。这些都是发生的,只要它们处理恩典,就可以更好地实现。如果你冒犯某人,他们没有义务原谅你并立即搬家。你能做的最好的事情就是始终试图通过你改变的行动来始终尝试改善与他人的互动和展示。
Stay Engaged
最后,承认一种形式的白色/异性恋特权是盲目眼睛的能力。由于忽视它的病情而不受影响,这可能意味着你有特权。休息是可以的,但要小心一直很好,但这是愿意继续争取正义作为盟友的盟友和LGBTQ社区。

I know that so many people need allyship at the moment. No judgment and just the freedom to be who they are.
Thank you so much for sharing this list! You’re so right that it’s a tendency for people to speak before thinking or listening.
I am so proud of you Lauryn. You are standing tall and taking a stand to be an ally AND a teacher to those who are not yet “woke”. <3
Thank you for sharing these resources and tips! We need everyone to speak up now. As they say, it’s not enough to not be racist, we need to be actively anti-racist!
This was so well-written. I’ve felt uncomfortable with the number of “what I’m doing to help” posts lately, especially following Blackout Tuesday and the week of muted social media. I find that actually taking action and continuing education is the most important, and that vocalizing it isn’t entirely necessary. BUT providing resources and knowledge to others is definitely important, especially when done in a respectful way like this. Thank you for sharing!
this is such an important post!! i too am an ally and continue to learn how to be better. these are really great tips!
