AS AN ALLY,

  1. I proudly join the #racismstinks movement by offering my time to racial healing initiatives, sharing my unique talents to support the cause, and contributing $5 monthly as a Magnificent Friend
  2. I recognize that, like everyone, I may have inherent biases or prejudices. Acknowledging this doesn’t define me negatively—it makes me human and gives me the opportunity to grow.
  3. I choose to confront and work through any racial biases or prejudices I may hold, with the goal of becoming a better person for myself and a more compassionate member of humanity.
  4. I commit to integrating racial healing into all areas of my life—whether at work, with friends, or in my family—knowing that everyday actions make a difference.
  5. I will actively share the #racismstinks message of racial healing, encouraging others to join in fostering understanding and unity.

REMEMBER: IT TAKES US ALL

Together, we will change the world.
