Allyship as Action: 7 Ways to Advocate for Others

Tanya Boteju frames allyship as ongoing practice, connecting reflection about identity and privilege with choices young people can make when standing alongside others. The book distinguishes active support from performative allyship and addresses how to respond after making mistakes. Realistic scenarios give readers a chance to consider these ideas in concrete situations, while practical tools guide them toward advocacy. The emphasis is on learning through action, including the challenges young people can face when fitting in feels important.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in activism and social justice.
  • Middle-grade readers seeking guidance on advocacy and supporting others.
  • Educators or families looking for a discussion resource about privilege, allyship, and taking action.

Book overview

★ "A succinct, honest overview on allyship. Middle schoolers will appreciate the accessible text, which never feels preachy or patronizing. A strong first buy for its explanations and examples of how to become an ally, while clearly explaining that it is ongoing and personal work." -- School Library Journal (SLJ), starred review

Being an ally is about learning and action. It's a constant, ongoing willingness to engage in the hard, confronting work of standing alongside those who don't have the same privileges.

As a young person, it can be difficult to take a stand for others when the need to fit in is so strong. But everyone can be an ally. Learn to acknowledge the privileges you have based on your identity, the difference between allyship and being a performative ally and how to address mistakes when we make them. In this book, young readers will work through realistic scenarios that show allyship in action and develop tools to become the best allies they can be.
