Community Poem Heading link

How can we support those affected by the Trump administration so far?
What are the steps an ally can take to actively show solidarity?

Let them know that they are not alone. Tell them how they can reach you. Listen to understand

Listen.

An ally shows up when invited to conversations, protests, dialogues

PEACE Circles
Support groups
I’d love to help organize those or support them

Con cariño
Spread more love & support

Speak out against Trump

Fight with those who have been hurt by the hateful admin. there is more of us. We will win.

Speak and fight against this horrid admin who seeks to take us down and support those who struggle to let them know they’re not alone. Together we are strong and we fight against this hate

We can always overthrow the presidency/government. The 1% doesn’t always have to make decisions

Speak up, speak out & listen, supporting by listening to the stories & the struggles. The only way to grow as a nation is to accept our differences & help those who are in need of a hand & shoulder.

Fight for what’s right, not only for us but for the country, fight for whats fair whether it be this country or another

Let’s come together as one and love one another

Always be mindful of Queer + Trans

Listen. Listen. AND LISTEN
did I mention listen? to people that are affected
After listening, act. Put your privilege to use. Don’t feel guilty for having it better than others. or
not as bad”

Solidarity or Allyship means you’ll sometimes go to places where you are the only one that’s a different color or ethnicity or background because that’s what showing up looks like. It means taking pieces of yourself and giving to those you care for, spreading your spirit and doing what you fear

Speak out against the hate
Dessimate
That cheeto in a wig,
With all the racism he speaks,
And nationalism he seeks,
Demand that he
Is not the president for me,
He says “drain the swamp”
Yet, he seeks to drain the sea
Of diversity,
Forgetting true American values,
They which we actually color
With mixtures and shades
Of variety
Not blank, white pages

Con Fuerza! Si se puede! Yo le canto a las mujeres, mis hermanas, compañeras, kasamas!

Ang tao! Ang bayan! Ngayon ay lumalaban! // The people, will never be defeated!

Being an ally is a verb; start doing shit & saying something

Show solidarity

Consensual love is making for a hug before opening arms

I give myself to love me
