Trending topics alone don’t save lives (via toofab)
Though short- and long-term goals of the movement have been identified and a slight amount of progress is being seen, what with Breonna’s Law passing and local governments exploring the idea of defunding the police, the battle is just ramping up and there is so much more to do.
And then, it is imperative to learn the differences between performative allyship and what activists have dubbed"effective" allyship, as the mixing up of the two could dilute the message of this incredibly powerful and important movement. A few companies quietly beat them to the punch; namely Tru-Colour bandages, founded by Toby Meisenheimer in 2013 when his adopted Black son couldn’t find Band-Aids to match his skin tone.
On a more individual basis, this type of non-POC performative ally can be seen loudly picking up the"civil rights" torch for all their friends to see on social media, only to do the absolute least that they can with it. Effective allies are ready to share that equity. They are self-educating with humility and the understanding that there is no gold star for this kind of work. Instead, they put in the work for the distant promise of a fairer, less prejudiced world.
