FAQs What do I need to do to be an ally? To be an ally you need to be consistently actively and vocally anti-racist. Speak out against injustice and amplify the voices of marginalised groups. Drive change at your workplace, local community and with family and friends. How do I get started with allyship? Being an ally is a skill: You build the capability over time and have to be willing to make mistakes. First and foremost, know the issues. Talk with your colleagues to understand the challenges they face. People are often afraid to take this step, because they don’t want to be presumptuous or risk offending a colleague. This may feel unnatural or comfortable; to help people feel at ease, try starting off by talking about a challenge you’ve faced or an experience you’ve had. Second, know yourself. Relate to the issues that you’ve seen based on your own personal experiences and understand your biases. Third and finally, take action whenever and however you can. It can be as simple as stopping an inappropriate joke, encouraging broad participation in a team discussion, or ensuring inclusion on dinner invitations. Or it can be more dedicated, such as joining and participating in an affinity group or acting as a mentor or sponsor for a skilled employee from a group underrepresented in leadership positions. (Forbes) Should I share videos of hate crime to raise awareness? Sharing graphic videos causes more harm than good. It’s traumatic for communities of colour to see these videos. An alternative option is to share graphics, facts, and petitions to raise awareness.
