2. Recognize your own

privilegeThere’s that word again! Try to notice how your privileges play out on a regular basis.

You can’t work on it if you don’t know where it’s at!

3. Know when tostep back!

Allies are there to support, not lead! Use your privilege to amplify the voices of folks who are already doing the work, and to create space for

others.

5. Remember, it’s about impact not

intentEveryone slips up and makes mistakes! Even if you

meant well, doesn’t mean what you said or did wasn’t hurtful. If someone calls you out, apologize,

commit to changing, and learn from it.
