Roby further quotes,
“We need to get organizations to cross the line, sit in meetings with black organizations on their terms, on their platforms, and find out what they can do to be an ally. Ask themselves, ‘What can I do to be a partner?’ I’m so sick of hearing people say, ‘Well if you want to see change, you need to do the changes on my terms.’ That’s very unfair.”
