Be an Ally

Allies are individuals who recognize their privilege and how that privilege affords them access to certain economic, social, and political institutions; yet, allies do not simply recognize their privilege, they work against patterns of injustice (Bishop, 2002). In the case of youth with dis/ability labels, an ally is one who recognizes that ableism, “discrimination on the grounds that being able bodied is the normal and superior human condition” (McLean, 2011, p. 13), is alive and well, and therefore requires all of us to continually work against institutional inequities. While policies and programs specific to transitions for youth with dis/ability labels have made some positive impact, inequities still exist and demand that allies respond by collaborating and joining with youth to resist and shift barriers to being and doing.
