Solidarity

Individual effort and initiative should be celebrated, but some issues are too big to be solved by ourselves. To make systemic changes that affects a whole group of people, we must do it in solidarity with other self-advocates. More than that we need to enlist the support of others sympathetic with our cause, partners and allies. We do this reaching out to them in a variety of ways–digitally, attending meeting, and social media. I would say personal contact, but the pandemic being what it is, virtual contact may be the only way we can. Help them see our cause is also their cause, and if they have causes they want to support, we should consider supporting them. Remember what goes around comes around.
