“Allyship equals friendship. An ally is someone you trust. An ally protects from injustice and prejudice, fights injustice and prejudice, speaks out when they see injustice and prejudice, supports you to see injustice and prejudice (including your own), lovingly supports and corrects you to correct your injustice and prejudice, cries with you and laughs with you.”
