Don't Do That!

Community Will Save Us

Episode Summary

We discuss how to lean on community in hard times and dissect when solidarity matters most. Historically, progress in the United States has been achieved through coalitions and demonstrations of solidarity across race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. However, showing up for communities that are not your own can be easier said than done.

Episode Notes

Welcome to another episode of Don’t Do That! with your hosts Karen and Anee! Today, we discuss how to lean on community in hard times and dissect when solidarity matters most. We are joined by Whitney Tome, consultant, lawyer, and ballerina.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The definition of solidarity
• How to be a community member and care for each other

Some key takeaways are:

• Solidarity does not happen overnight. We need space to evolve how we think about and engage with different communities
• Indigenous communities value everyone as a relative and  teach us respect and civility for all
• Solidarity is neither friendship nor comfortable.
