Types of Allies (“Better Allies” by Karen Catlin)
Sponsor: Vocal support of colleagues from inequity-experiencing groups to help boost reputation and standings
Champion: Vocal PUBLIC support/deferral to colleagues from inequity-experiencing groups
Amplifier: Ensures marginalized voices are heard AND respected
Advocate: Uses their power and influence (privilege) to bring peers from marginalized groups into exclusive circles
Scholar: Seeks to learn as much as possible about the challenges/prejudices marginalized groups face. They educate themselves
Upstander: Combats any wrongdoing they see. They push back on offensive comments/jokes even when nobody is there to hear it
Confidant: Creates a safe space for marginalized groups to express fears/frustrations/needs. They validate their experiences
5 Traits of Being an Ally (“Becoming an Ally” by Anne Bishop)
Allies LISTEN
Allies CRAVE THE CREDIBILITY, not the credit
ACTIONS, not words
They’re AWAKE!
They’re self-aware to their own experience of oppression or disadvantage
