Who Is Your Outrage On Behalf Of?

You’re fired up! But who, exactly, is that rage on behalf of?

Erica and India unpack the myriad issues lurking beneath heaps of social outrage carried out in the name of advocacy for underrepresented or marginalized communities.

What can imperfect allies do to prevent creating more harm than good? Get curious about their motivations before slinging unsolicited vitriol! Erica offers three questions to help folks evaluate rather than act on impulse. 

In this discussion:

Why allyship is not a self-centering pursuit;

Checking assumptions about what marginalized communities want and/or need;

Is your anger justified or just personal?;

What the woke white wave gets wrong about calling each other out; and

Communicating empathy over sympathy.
