Information for Allies 

We have all internalized and normalized white supremacy, start by examining your own actions and bias. Then try some of the following:

• Support black owned business- a great list for the Columbus area is here, though it is not exhaustive. 

• Increase your consumption of BIPOC media, social media, and podcasts. Set intentions to diversify your life in a meaningful way. 

• Use therapy as an outlet to support your growth

• Educate yourself on black history, culture, and means of systemic oppression. 

• Discuss racism openly and honestly with your children
