Imarri:
there are no typical days
the typical days are standing up to what's oppressing you

because something upset me personally so we joined together to campaign

i think to be informed
make it your business to understand what's going on around you

you don't always have to be the same as everyone around you

by your investigation you can find what sits well with you nevermind what everyone else is doing

Otis:

i think the worst part is thinking that you can't change anything
don't allow yourself to be attacked by the media
you have to be very careful about you and your group

once you become tuned into an issue it tunes your mind into what other issues are taking place and this is  good because knowledge is power

so it depends really on what type of activism your intrigued by. the fact that other people recognise the need for change and stand together to make a change
and the fact that you have been part of a big change to fix a big wrong makes you feel like you can make a stand

Lamar:

there is no wrong or right way to activism its what sits right with you we do this to empower people (error)

addressing

its being part of society prt of being in the human race
this is our life we have the ability to learn that we have the power to address the problems that we have (error)

(crash)

laughs

i think that to be honest when i was heavily involved in the media, yes you will be spat on in the street but mainly it is online these are very real issues
there where thousands of people marching in the streets

when this country decided to cut off itself from the rest of Europe  we cut off ourself from our neighbours

Me:
one is to be well informed about this situation to play
what has brought about this sitution
you have to exchange ideas with people
you will find many people as you do
the choice of action is entirely up to you
you might make a demontration of pollution
to help people with breathing issiues
hast to be something you are strongly about
decide good ways with other people
join forces
it makses me feel part of the whole
if i just leave it makes me feel weakless
impacts my life
makes me upset to know
joining an actvism group stop theese thing
and to leave it mis not good and makes me feel useless
i think we told to children to listen to adulys
that adults know best
but chi;dren have rights
and have the rights to be heard
we might have a idea because we d done a bit of research
for example
error 101
sweatshops
people make clothings just for pennies
and we have the right to have ourselve
and indeed we should be involved in actvism

For many PFLAG members, hearing about the journey of allies really resonates with them. Just like every PFLAG parent, every ally has a story that brought them to where they are today. Check out some of these unique narratives from allies who have become active members of their local chapter.

If you would like to share your story as a straight ally involved with your local PFLAG chapter please contact us!

Sandra
I am a straight parent of a straight adult child with no real agenda. I joined PFLAG-Dallas about 12 years ago because I have always felt very passionately about equal rights for all. Additionally, I was also blessed with many gay and lesbian friends who had become part of my family over the years and I was tired of witnessing the needless painful abuse and rejection they endured due to an orientation they had no control over.

Teri
Although I've always believed deeply in the equality of all people, I was "activated" when the issue of same-sex marriage hit the front page of The Oregonian newspaper in March of 2004. The vicarious joy I felt for people so long denied truly took me by surprise. The need to participate, to contribute to this historic event led me from one volunteer opportunity to another. The wonderful people, couples, families and stories only fueled my fire and before long I was attending PFLAG meetings regularly.

I learned about the amazing results of PFLAG voices in rural and urban areas around the state, saw their impact in support group settings, on school and community leaders, in legislative sessions etc. This, I thought, this is the way to ensure that our elegant system of democracy lives up to it's potential to ensure true equality for all. In a world full of overwhelming issues it is clear to me that PFLAG is a place where one can take a focused and effective stand for what is right, and now I'm thrilled to be part of its Straight for Equality program.

Peter
The hardest part about being an ally is actually asking yourself, "Do I have what it takes to become an ally?"

Whenever I wanted to say something positive about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues, I was befuddled. I did not feel qualified to be an ally - I am straight, I have no LGBT family member, I rarely even talked about LGBT issues. What right did I have to advocate for LGBT equal rights if I was unfamiliar about these issues? I had no role models to help me. I have no power, I am nobody special, and I am not a leader of anything, so what difference could I make? All I have are positive attitudes, but they were insufficient for helping me address LGBT issues.

These feelings changed when I attended PFLAG. I had my own coming out process - I was anxious about being a straight ally. But when I came out, with the support of PFLAG members, I determined my role as a straight ally in the LGBT movement. Since then, I became the leader of PFLAG Chicago and constructed a college course to teach straight students how to be LGBT allies. What was gratifying about this was knowing that others wanted to help the LGBT communities, but they too did not know where to start. There are many ways to be a straight ally and it is possible to become a confident, credible straight ally - and now Straight for Equality is here for all of these people.

PFLAG was a foreign term to me in 2010 when I casually passed their fair booth in Yuma, Arizona. It was the rainbow flags that caught my attention. I paused for a moment to scan the banner and was immediately engaged. My younger bother had come out to me just a few years prior and the subject of LBGT rights had become personal. I took a few pamphlets that day and vowed to swing by a meeting sooner rather than later.

I remember my first meeting well; I was overwhelmed with unexpected emotion to have found myself surrounded by people who had walked similar paths and had similar experiences. That first day I listened to the stories of members, both gay and straight, and I was really moved. I felt under-qualified to consider myself an ally. I felt like it was presumptions of me to think that the LBGT community could need me as an advocate for the cause. The entire process was intimidating at first, but the members were warm and friendly and received me as if they had been waiting for me to arrive. They supplied me with free booklets on being an ally as well as information on gay rights and faith communities.

The more time I spent around my PFLAG family the more I felt the need for an outlet - a way to express my emotions regarding this process of becoming an ally. As my family dynamic became more challenging I knew I needed to take a stand. I began blogging on the subject of gay rights hoping that someone, somewhere would find it encouraging hearing another persons experience. It was surprising to me to realize how challenging it could be to simply come out publicly as an ally, and this gave me even more insight as to how hard the process of coming out is for a LGBT person.

The reward for taking a stand as a straight ally has been immeasurable. I have connected with some many people and have heard so many stories of the triumphs and trials that others have endured. I have been embraced with open arms by LGBT friends and have built relationships that I would have completely missed otherwise. Taking a stand as a n ally has been freeing for me, it has given me a purpose and confidence I did not expect. There is a community of people out there who need our alliance and support to challenge the archaic thinking and change the tempo within our communities.

Despite many companies' recent efforts to develop DEI strategies and roadmaps, inequalities in our workplaces are still rampant. Every employee needs to see their role in inclusion, but not everybody is on board yet. Why? Fear. Those who are well-represented in any context are fearful of the change and loss of power that real inclusion will bring, fearful of getting uncomfortable, and fearful of saying and doing the wrong thing. On the other hand, people from marginalized, discriminated, and underrepresented groups are also fearful: fearful of being the lone voice and being perceived as the token, fearful of addressing biases and discrimination, and fearful of the impact on their careers. The author presents seven allyship behaviors that employees at any level can engage in to nurture inclusion in their workplaces.

Time and time again when I engage on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) matters with employees, managers, and leaders of companies across the world, I'm met with the question: What can I do?

Bystander Effect… in Effect.
Let’s meet Akshay, his day is about to get much crazier. He’s just finished his college and is on the way home. However, just as he was about to climb into the bus, he heard a loud crash, followed by the smell of burning rubber.
Akshay stepped back from the bus and walked over to the accident site unfolding nearby, which was already surrounded by people. It looked bad, the car seemed to have hit a bike, and the biker looked to be unconscious. While the scene lay before his eyes, he wondered “I should probably try to help” but the moment he tried to take a step, his mind wandered “Wait, if someone else is helping, wouldn’t I be in the way? What would I even do!? What will these people think if I just try to help with no knowledge or training?”
He looked around, no one stepped forward to help, what was going on? It had been fifteen minutes, and no one had moved. Luckily by this time, the ambulance had arrived because the hospital was nearby. And who had called the ambulance? The man in the car who had hit the victim to begin with.

What is the Bystander effect?
What if everyone around Akshay, had similar thoughts? What is this effect that could keep a kind person from offering help? Let’s take a closer look.
The bystander effect is a social effect where a person is less likely to take action or offer help in a situation when they are surrounded by people. We will be taking a closer look at the specifics on what causes this effect, and how to avoid it. Specifics of the Bystander effect.
The bystander effect is surprisingly not a case of human apathy (although it is involved), but rather the product of human social behavior. When a group is present in the event of an emergency without a clear leader in place, the responsibility to handle this event is spread amongst every person present. This diffused responsibility is negligible when each person only feels a small share.

Bystander Effect

In such a situation, an observer will also be conditioned to behave in a socially acceptable way. This is further reinforced by the fact that since no one has stepped forward or reacted to the situation, people might think it’s not too serious despite how it looks and no action is needed.

The situation is far too chaotic for normal people to have the kind of training one would expect to have. It is not easy to break this when you’re also caught in the same, unless…

How to Avoid the Bystander effect
You already have! It will be much harder for you or anyone to be caught up in the bystander effect if you are aware of the effect when it happens. Another thing you can do is learn first aid from ALERT to take on the responsibility of a First-responder, and you’ll never be a bystander in a road accident ever again!
If you’re the victim and manage to stay conscious, single out a person and ask them to help you. This focuses the responsibility involved and can make a person act to help you, breaking the bystander effect’s hold. Is it always the case?
The bystander effect is hardly all-powerful. It is simply a product of a lack of awareness and knowledge on how to properly handle certain emergency situations coupled with programmed social norms that must be ignored. If there was only one person in the vicinity, then the bystander effect does not apply and that person will act to help you because there is no one else to share the responsibility.

On Dec. 27, social media personality Tate tweeted at Thunberg, the 19-year-old climate activist: "I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s. This is just the start.

"Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions."

Which caused Thunberg to reply with the following…

Later Tate would reply with a video featuring himself in a robe, smoking a cigar, with a pizza box in full shot.

The pizza box that many internet sleuths initially thought caused Andrew Tate to be arrested.

Andrew Tate

Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested and detained on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized crime group, after a raid on two Romanian properties, according to a statement from a Romanian anti-organized-crime unit. Some on the internet have theorized that the raids occurred because the pizza box in the shot on Tate's video -- from a pizza company based in Romania -- alerted authorities to the fact Tate was in the country. However, a reporter with the Washington Post tweeted Friday that authorities said the pizza box didn't lead to Tate's arrest.

Both Andrew and Tristan Tate have been under criminal investigation since April. Romanian prosecutors extended their detention from 24 hours to 30 days, a detention a Romanian court upheld after a challenge from the Tate brothers.

Martin Luther King, Jr., is known for his contributions to the American civil rights movement in the 1960s. His most famous work is his “I Have a Dream” speech, delivered in 1963, in which he spoke of his dream of a United States that is void of segregation and racism. King also advocated for nonviolent methods of protest, and he organized and staged countless marches and boycotts.

In March 1966, Ali refused to be inducted into the armed forces. He was systematically denied a boxing license in every state and stripped of his passport. As a result, he did not fight from March 1967 to October 1970—from ages 25 to almost 29—as his case worked its way through the appeals process before his conviction was overturned in 1971

Impact of activism

What is Activism?

Activism is quite simply taking action to effect social change; this can occur in a myriad of ways and in a variety of forms. Often it is concerned with ‘how to change the world’ through social, political, economic or environmental change. This can be led by individuals but is often done collectively through social movements.

Activist or Activism?

It’s not where you’re from; it’s not where you’re at: it’s what you do.

Many people can be classified as activists and many actions can be interpreted as activism, but this doesn’t mean that all activism is carried out by activists. The term activist itself is contentious, as what constitutes an activist and what actions can be defined as activism are often contested.

We at a Permanent Culture Now would prefer not to use the term ‘activist’ in the classical sense as it creates a division between those who define themselves as activists and those who carry out activism. We feel it is more important to look at the actions being undertaken rather than how individuals define themselves.  W may not 100% agree with Saul Alinsky on the right but we think he definitely has a point. Indeed, as Andrew X states in his article Give Up Activism,

“The activist is a specialist or an expert in social change. To think of yourself as being an activist means to think of yourself as being somehow privileged or more advanced than others in your appreciation of the need for social change, in the knowledge of how to achieve it and as leading or being in the forefront of the practical struggle to create this change… Defining ourselves as activists’ means defining our actions as the ones which will bring about social change, thus disregarding the activity of thousands upon thousands of other non-activists. Activism is based upon this misconception that it is only activists that do social change.”

It is crucial to not fall into the trap of alienating oneself by doing this, as it can lead to a sense of delusion that you solely are the bringer of change, combined with a distancing of yourself from the wider population and also alienating those who may be supportive.
