ALLYSHIP

for Indigenous People’s Day, 2022

What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you don’t stop being active
When it is out of the news cycle

What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you get your answers from
The people you are allied with

What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you are willing to be uncomfortable
When the ground beneath you shifts

What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you have agreed to give up
What you have, again and again

What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you smile to know your success
Will create less need for you

What does it mean to be an ally?
It means that you don’t need to ask
For directions on how to be one
