My last RT made a great point! Activism is usually tough for many bc future job prospects could go out the door depending on what causes you support. It certainly can put careers at risk to get behind something that your future employer could perceive as problematic.

Not everyone has the privilege of having a job or earning money through activism or in careers where its "ok". What compounds this is when good jobs are hard to come by in your field, bc then u gotta pipe down/increase ur effort to anonymize yourself. But if you're a minority?

Sometimes you feel like you have no choice. Either no choice but to expose yourself for the cause(s) bc what you or people could stand to gain is so great, or silently support from the shadows, or simply disconnect. Because if you were public about it, the backlash in murky.

Dispensa: backlash is* murky. I don't necessarily call myself or what I do activism. It's just calling out injustice when I see it. It's literally wanting all people--including mine who are underrepresented in so many spaces--to be taken care of. It's passion for the culture.
