Supporting Others in a Time of Need

An ally is someone who supports and stands up for the rights, well-being, and equality of a group or individual, even if they aren't directly affected by the issues or struggles that group faces. Allies often work to amplify marginalized voices, challenge discrimination, and promote inclusivity. This short, yet powerful video sums up the key qualities of being an ally.
