I saw this today and begun to think about the impact of these words. You can feel empathy but nothing truly changes unless you put the words and feelings into actions

is it bad that I laughed at the word allyship before I realized what it said? *opens mouth, inserts foot* but in my defense, I've never heard that word used instead of friendship before

Allies are people who recognize their privilege and work in solidarity with marginalized groups to help fight injustice and inequity."
