So, you attended a protest. You have a Black friend and you want to be an ally. But, what does it mean to be an ally? Even more importantly, what does it mean to be an effective ally? More people are coming forward as allies to speak up against racial injustice. Maybe you want to help, you want to educate, and you want to bring awareness...but you don't know how or where to start. This event is for you.

Hosted by Black voices in Taipei, this event is an open discussion to explore the meaning, the necessity, and the responsibility of allyship. The purpose is to create a safe and open space for voices of all colors, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and genders to understand how we can support each other, bring awareness, and create equality for us all.

Some questions we will discuss are:
What does it mean to be an ally?
How can I educate myself on Black history and racial injustices?
How can I resolve mistakes I have made in the past?
What can I do to help?

This is a safe, judgment-free space. We are here to educate, support, and empower one another. Negative comments, bullying, cancelling, and gaslighting are not allowed.

Suggested donation: $300
Funds raised will support antiracism organizations.

你參加了抗議活動，你有黑人朋友，你也想和他們站在一起。但與和他們站在同一陣線意味著什麼？更重要的是，成為他們強而有力的支持者代表什麼呢？越來越多人站出來為種族不平等發聲。也許你也想幫忙，你想要透過教育去喚醒大家對於這個議題的意識...但卻不知道該如何或從何做起嗎？那麼，這項活動就是為你而辦的！

這項由台北Black voices 所舉辦的活動透過開放性討論的方式，去探索身為一個支持者的意義、必須性及責任為何。活動的目的是希望創造出一個安全且開放的空間給所有不同膚色、種族、民族及性別，讓大家了解如何互相扶持、提升意識並為所有人創造平等。

討論的問題如下：
身為一個支持者代表著什麼意思？
我該如何讓自己在對黑人歷史及種族不平等的議題上更為了解？我能夠如何去解決我過去犯過的錯誤？
我該如何幫忙呢？

這是一個安全且無批評的活動。我們聚在一起為了彼此學習、互相支持以及賦權彼此。任何負面的評論、霸凌及操弄他人情感之動作皆不被允許。
