“ALLYSHIP GUIDE”

Quote:ALLYSHIP GUIDE: FROM AWARENESS TO ADVOCACY

Injustice, bigotry and racism are deeply entrenched in the country we all love, and have been since its origination. The senseless and preventable murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor – and so many others, both names known and unknown – have reignited a deep, raw and unresolved pain and frustration among many, especially Black Americans.

Terms to Know • Social Privilege - is a special, unearned advantage or entitlement, used to one's own benefit or to the detriment of others • White Privilege - is not the suggestion that white people have never struggled. Instead, white privilege should be viewed as a built-in advantage, separate from one’s level of income or effort • Systemic Racism - includes the policies and practices entrenched in established institutions, which result in the exclusion or promotion of designated groups • Ally (Active) - takes action and challenges the status quo • Agent (Enabler) - takes action to maintain the status quo of privilege and oppression • Fence-Sitter (Passive/Neutral) - reinforces the status quo • All Lives Matter - Black people certainly believe that every life and person matters. But what’s important to know is this saying is generally perceived as dismissive and unsupportive of the Black Lives Matter movement, which was formed to bring more attention to the brutality and injustices committed against Black men, women and children

Actions You Can Take Right Now • Do not remain silent. Use your voice and platform to start and facilitate constructive conversations, whether that’s within your family, neighborhood or workplace. If someone makes a racist remark or shares their limited view, ask them why they feel that way • Demand justice by supporting online petitions and campaigns and contacting elected local, state and federal officials • Diversify your news sources and who you follow and engage with on social media • Make a financial contribution to a local or national organization, preferably Black-led, that is working for a more equitable America • Become more familiar with the Black experience by reading, watching and listening to content produced by Black people • Join a peaceful protest and stand in solidarity with the Black community • Vote in every election and support efforts to protect people’s right to vote (like volunteering for election protection or participating in get-out-the-vote activities) • Research the laws, budgets and policies that disproportionately and systemically affect Black communities and advocate accordingly • Support elected officials and candidates with agendas that support and uplift marginalized communities • Advocate to your local mayor and city council for a stronger Citizen/Civilian/Community Review Board Read: “How civilian review boards can further police accountability and improve community relations”

Kroger, I love you, I really do. But this is a relationship-changer. Sorry you had to get all woke. When you have to lay off those wonderful cashiers and deli employees because you chose to virtue-signal vice be a good grocery store, remember the people you are hurting are the exacts ones you claim to be supporting. Hypocritical corporate cucks.

I don’t like Kroger anyway. Don’t like companies that overcharge if you don’t let them data mine.

I hate Kroger. I refuse to pay more to get less just because it’s a union store. Get woke, go broke
It couldn’t happen to a better company.

Kroger should take a hard look in the mirror because they've obviously hired a bunch of workers who are too stupid to think on their own... so they have to tell them how to do it.

I mean, this is what America was founded on, right? The elite few in high, powerful places telling the masses how to live.

Full blown cultural Marxism. This does nothing but divide people.

Kroger is run by idiots. They forced early retired most of the people that actually had a brain that operated outside of the hive.

This is the end result or stacking Boards, Executive Leadership and HR Depts at major companies with diversity hires over the past 10 years or so.

so what's the conservative grocery store?

Why does there have to be a conservative grocery store? How about one that can just STFU and run their business agnostic of politics?

Diversify your news sources? Maybe they should realize that could red pill some liberals.

Do people still believe large corporations don't vote Democrat?

lol...I drive by a Kroger every day on my way to HEB.

We have Meijers here. Unions aren't welcome on this side of the state

(Meijers is probably pushing that bull**** too tho)

Publix and Winn Dixie are by far my favorites..

Here we have a Wegman's, Giant, and Weis.

Wegman's is the northern version of Publix.

Giant and Weis are northern versions of WD.

Lucky people to have options.

Near my town we only have Kroger or Walmart.
