Ally to Disabled, Chronic Illness, Neurodiverse, LGBTQA+, Diversity, Equality, Inclusion Movements
Have you wondered how to become an ally for disabled, neurodiverse, or chronically ill and LGBTQA+ people and communities. Are you interested in improving diversity, equality, and inclusion?
With all the conversations happening right now about social injustice, it can be hard to understand how to get involved in a meaningful way. You know your help is needed — but where do you even start?
The Equal Ideas Guide is here as your go-to resource for understanding what being an ally looks like and why it matters. We'll walk you through aligning yourself with the cultural movements of today - from discussing ethical concerns raised by disability rights activists, to finding out how privilege plays into discussions of race and gender.
Empower yourself with knowledge on becoming an ally - let's get started!
1. Identify and examine your own privileges. Understanding how privilege impacts everyone is key in becoming an ally.
Becoming an Ally to LGBTQA+ Movements
2. Educate yourself on current events related to LGBTQA+, disabled, and other equality movements. Follow news stories, read books, listen to podcasts that cover these topics.
3. Speak up against inequality and use your privilege to challenge prejudice and oppressive structures.
4. Listen and learn from other experiences. Making sure that other voices are heard is essential in learning how best to be an ally.
Volunteer with Organizations
5. Take Action - sign petitions, volunteer with organizations making a difference, spread awareness through social media.
6. Check your own biases - we all have implicit biases that can unconsciously shape our behavior, recognize them and make changes where needed.
7. Understand the differences between Ableism, LGBT/Queer issues and general equality movements.
8. Learn to listen and show respect for all communities.
9. Don't be afraid to speak up and take action against unfairness and injustice.
10. Stand up for people who feel excluded or oppressed.
11. Educate yourself on different aspects of equality movements.
12. Support charities and organizations dedicated to equality groups.
Most of all, have a big heart towards people, be kind, realise you don’t know everything about this person and be a good human being. Think and act towards others, how you would like to be treated. These simple steps of compassion and understanding of others can help make tiny steps to a more tolerant world. Your small contribution counts, you count.
