The ACE Office strives to center community voices in its work and practice acting in solidarity with others.
Acting in solidarity with others means that you will:
- give marginalized or oppressed identities the same respect and affirmation that majority identities may take for granted
- center voices of marginalized or oppressed identities in our work
- do the self work to “unlearn” your own biases
- bring humility to your interactions with others
- practice empathetic listening
- take action that amplifies the work of the community and organizers from the community

Acting in Solidarity for Social Justice in ACE
Consider in what ways you do–and don’t–hold power because of your different identities and the ways that they intersect with one another. Further, examine how your power and privilege changes in the spaces you occupy and the people you engage with during your ACE experience.
