💡 Do you know the difference between reactive and proactive allyship? Both reactive and proactive allyship have their place in advocacy efforts. Reactive allyship can be valuable in addressing immediate concerns and raising awareness during critical moments. However, proactive allyship is generally more effective in creating lasting change, as it addresses the root causes of injustice and discrimination. 👉 Reactive Allyship: • Often involves responding to specific incidents or situations where discrimination, oppression, or injustice becomes apparent. It is initiated when a particular incident triggers a response from the ally. • May offer support or solidarity in the moment when they witness or hear about an injustice. • Reactive allies may not consistently engage in advocacy when there isn't a specific, visible issue at hand. • Often short-term and event-driven, focusing on immediate responses rather than long-term systemic change. 👉 Proactive Allyship: • Characterized by an ongoing, sustained commitment to advocating for marginalized groups. • Doesn't depend on specific incidents but is integrated into one's values and actions. • Has a long-term perspective, with a focus on sustainable change that extends beyond immediate reactions to incidents. • Proactive allies actively educate themselves about issues related to social justice, systemic inequalities, and the experiences of marginalized communities. • Proactive allies engage in advocacy, policy change, and systemic transformation efforts. 🔗 Learn more about Reactive vs. Proactive Allyship in our course "Being an Ally to Racialized People": https://hubs.li/Q026CMBn0
