Stand Up! Go Beyond the Streets
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
