Allies should not be the face of social justice movements

BY SARAH WASHINGTON 

Allies need to take a smaller role in the social justice movement. Currently, privileged people are taking the spotlight instead of passing the mic to those primarily affected by the actions of our current presidential administration and those who are the targets of oppression.

Activists need to be mindful of their language

Activists need to be mindful of their language

BY SARAH WASHINGTON '19

On Thursday Feb. 16 and Friday Feb. 17, I had the privilege of seeing the activist and author of “Bad Feminist” Roxane Gay, give a lecture and lead a writing workshop. Although she had many lessons to teach us, what struck me the most was her view on the careless ways in which we treat language as activists.
