EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND DIVERSITY

communities are disproportionately affected by this pandemic.
Why? Is it simply the loss of a job that they couldn't do from
home? No. It's much deeper than that. My research has led me
to understand that access to healthcare, fresh food, and reliable
transportation also contribute to higher rates of death within
these communities.
After you've become more aware through research and education
of the challenges, the next step in allyship is ACTION. The main
question should be: What can I do to help? While you may feel
like there isn't anything you can do, I want you to reassure
you that we all have power given the context. Even a small act
can have exponential impact-don't discount that. Something
as small as ensuring that at the end of your video call you go
around the team to give each person an opportunity to speak
if they hadn't is a form of allyship and inclusion. A bigger act
would be ensuring that the next hire on your team is someone
from an underrepresented community, not because they are in
the minority but because you believe their perspective will add
value to your project while giving someone from that community
an economic opportunity.

articulating the needs and generating ways to solve challenges
on behalf of other communities where you may not even be a
member.
I pointed out in the NEWH Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity
Dialogue that allyship is something that we all have the capacity
to do given the right situation. While I don't always feel privileged,
I know that I am. I have a home, a job, family, friends, a car. And
my dear friends, you are privileged in some way, or many ways,
too. I can't think of any better time than right now, while the world
is sheltering in place, figuring out how to solve a global health
crisis, and grappling with social inequities, to decide how you
will show up in the world as an ally and advocate. We need each
other. While you may be an ally for someone one day, someone
else may be an ally for you on another day. And that, my friends,
is the world that I want to live in and one that I think we can all
build together. One person, one act at a time. \[]

After you're comfortable with smaller, impactful acts, you will
soon find yourself advancing to true advocacy. ADVOCACY
is the consistent commitment and proactive championing of
inclusion. You no longer need to be prompted by someone else,
you are ensuring other voices and perspectives are brought into
the room, particularly if they aren't present. You feel comfortable
