"It's more than just getting along with people. It's joining each other in a common goal and supporting people. Even though you might be different, you might have different opinions, you need to step into their space and have that conversation. It's not just getting along, it's supporting people."

What is "Allyship"?
What is "Allyship"?
Allyship is joining together with people from every background by stepping into their spaces and journeying with one another to work towards a common goal, i.e. restorative justice. Allyship is recognizing that we are all fundamentally the same, yet we are all uniquely created in God’s image.
