#AGoodAlly uses the ally label sparingly; it is better to earn the title

from others than to claim it for yourself.

#AGoodAlly doesn't make the struggle about

them or fetishize oppression in order to

feel part of the struggle.

voice needs to be heard -- or not heard.

commitment to solidarity and justice.

#AGoodAlly takes some things personally and

knows that being an ally does not purge a lifetime

of privilege.

#AGoodAlly expects no medals or accolades for doing that which should

be done all along.
