The Seven Acts of Allyship
- Appetite – Do you have the appetite to immerse yourself in the complex, emotive world of race equality?
- Ask – Ask questions about race, be curious, read, learn and educate yourself.
- Accept – Accept there is really a problem. More data aren’t needed.
- Acknowledge – Openly acknowledge that the problem needs to be dealt with.
- Apologise – Express sympathy that racism is affecting people of certain races.
- Assume – Don’t. Instead develop informed views by seeking to understand individuals.
- Action – Take demonstrable action steps to establish equality and be accountable.
