Accomplice vs ally

An accomplice actively participates in resistance alongside marginalized people and accepts risk; an ally performs solidarity from a position of safety and may leave when inconvenienced. The distinction matters because movements need both sustained participation and those willing to be changed by the struggle, not just people managing their image through performative support.
