Description
Allyship is a sincere commitment by a privileged person to offer ongoing support to individuals, groups, or organizations that are excluded from privilege. Allies take direction from the excluded group about the form(s) that support should take. Allies understand that exclusion and oppression is harmful to all of society.
Allyship requires unlearning the beliefs, cognitive and/or affective responses and behaviors embedded in the privileged status.
