(Just IMO...)

This thread contains a good example of what I mean when I talk about allyship. It’s a verb: serious (weeks long) consideration of harm, stopping the behavior, continual self-education, & a willingness to engage further or walk away, at the HARMED people’s request. https://twitter.com/conservechange/status/1299463283343327232">https://twitter.com/conservec...

And just to be 1000% clear— I am in no way attempting to speak for any Indigenous person. I just want to highlight this thread as a good example of how to understand harm, begin harm reduction work, and compose an apology that’s genuine, because it’s backed up by that work.
