hey non-black folks,

wocinsolidarity:

ethiopienne:

solidarity is not:

  • speaking over black folks at rallies
  • centering your cause in a discussion about black lives…
  • …esp by appropriating the “black lives matter” campaign
  • making black folks explain things to you
  • or centering your feelings
  • making distinctions between “good” and “bad” blacks/protestors
  • telling us about your racist friends
  • policing black anger/sadness/frustration

solidarity is:

  • supporting and amplifying black folks’ work
  • especially if you are able to do so with your financial resources
  • actively and continually tackling anti-blackness in your own communities so black folks don’t have to (because we don’t have the power there that you do)
  • continually reflecting on your own anti-blackness as an individual
  • leveraging your connections and non-financial resources to support black work
  • etc etc etc because there is so much more beyond showing up to rallies
