Chris Duffy:成为盟友意味着利用自身资源和特权帮助弱势群体,这需要自我反省、倾听他人、跟随他人引导,而不是控制局面。这很难,因为它需要我们直面自身特权,并学会倾听和跟随他人,而不是以自我为中心。 成为盟友的障碍之一是先入为主的观念,我们带着自己的假设去看待他人,而不是真正倾听和了解他人的需求。我们常常以自己的想法来揣测他人的需求,而不是真正去倾听。例如,我们可能会认为一个家庭需要大量食物,而实际上他们只是想吃沙拉。这种误解可能会在不同群体之间被放大,从而产生反作用。 有时我们害怕冒犯的是特权群体中的其他人,而不是真正需要帮助的群体。这会导致盟友关系流于形式,成为一种表演性的姿态,而不是实际的帮助。 Nita Mosby Tyler:成为优秀的盟友需要减轻自身的偏见(无论是意识到的还是未意识到的),这样才能真正倾听并满足他人的需求。成为优秀的盟友需要无私,放大被压迫群体的聲音,而不是自己的声音。我们不应该过度依赖被边缘化或被压迫群体来获得教育,自身也应该积极主动地学习。盟友关系不应局限于白人与有色人种之间,而是可以存在于任何被边缘化群体与其他群体之间。即使害怕,也要勇敢地站出来,这是成为真正盟友的重要一步。 在工作场所,人们应该从旁观者转变为挺身而出者,积极主动地应对有害行为。仅仅为不作为道歉并不能解决问题,在公平与盟友关系的工作中,行动才是关键。要成为真正的盟友,需要反思自身特权,并利用这些特权去帮助他人。成为盟友的关键在于无私,将自身优势转化为对其他人的帮助,而不是为了获得赞扬。不应该将教育盟友的责任强加于被边缘化或被压迫群体。仅仅拥有多元化的朋友并不能代表真正的盟友关系,更重要的是倾听和理解他人的经历。建立公平的体系需要系统性的变革,而不是简单的表面功夫。即使是初步的尝试,也应该肯定那些在公平问题上有所行动的人们,而不是一味地批评。成为盟友需要行动,而不是仅仅停留在口头上。社交媒体上存在大量的形式化的盟友行为,人们只做表面功夫,而不真正付出行动。形式化的盟友行为指的是只说不做,仅仅表达支持,而不采取实际行动。应该避免形式化的公平行为(fake equity),而应该采取实际行动。许多重要的社会运动都受益于“不太可能的盟友”的参与。要建立公平的体系,需要所有人的参与,包括那些看似与我们立场对立的人。作者的唯一目标是为所有人争取公平正义。建立公平的体系需要所有人的参与,不能排除任何一方。在公平工作中,应该以同理心和尊重的态度进行沟通,避免评判和防御。成为盟友可能意味着参与一些你从未考虑过或不了解的事情。

Shownotes Transcript

What do we mean when we call ourselves “allies”? For Dr. Nita Mosby Tyler, being an ally means being a person that uses their own resources and privileges to stand beside people that are marginalized. She explains why we need "unlikely allies" in the fight for justice, and why people who are experiencing inequality first hand must be willing to accept the help if we all want the world to be a fairer, more equitable place. Dr. Nita Mosby Tyler is the Chief Catalyst and Founder of The Equity Project -- a consulting firm supporting organizations and communities in building diversity, equity and inclusion strategies -- as well as The HR Shop, a human resources firm designed to support non-profits and small businesses. Dr. Mosby Tyler, a consultant accredited by the Georgetown University National Center for Cultural Competence and recipient of the Cornell University Diversity & Inclusion certification, is nationally recognized for her equity work with non-profit, community, government and corporate organizations. She has received many local and national awards for her service and leadership accomplishments including recognition from the U.S. Department of Health And Human Services, U.S. Department of Agriculture and Human Rights Campaign. She holds a doctorate in the field of Organizational Leadership from the University of Colorado, a Master of Arts degree in Management from Webster University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from the University of Alabama.
