rp @rachel.cargle: In true allyship and activism there is no room to be intellectually lazy or shallow in your care about issues. You must be willing to hold yourself accountable for doing the work to undercover what you don’t see, understand what you don’t know, and take action when and how it is needed.

Social media is a sensational place. Often the only things people are willing to care about at any moment about is whatever social justice hashtag is trending as opposed to the people and circumstances behind the trend.

Lives cannot be summed up in memes or twitter threads and I want to see your action WAY more than your repost.

I hope in the case of immigration, school tragedies, police brutality, terrorist attacks and all other instances that have now been known to come with a wave of hashtags and sound bites of outrage you truly take the time to read, learn, talk about, take action on the things that move you.

Doing the work is reading, doing the work is researching, doing the work is voting, doing the work is opening conversations, doing the work is holding each other accountable.
