Scenario

When workplace allies haven't discussed their shared responsibility

My colleague and I are the only two people of color in our department and we've developed this careful friendship where we acknowledge the reality of what that's like, but we've never talked about whether we think we should do anything about it or what we owe each other in this situation.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who share a marginalized position have never examined what solidarity means to them in practice.
