QUOTABLES:
“You do not have to be a person who is a practitioner of the work, who also happens to be queer, and also happens to be nonbinary — you do not have to adopt all of these things. Part of being an ally is being able to position yourself in the discomfort of building empathy.” – Amber Cabral
“This is not about the workplace. This is about how you show up in the world.” – Jessica Hurley
“Allyship is work. It’s work. Advocacy is work: ‘I gotta be uncomfortable. I am pushing against a system I do not think is working for everyone.’” – Amber Cabral
