About Allies, Too

The Purpose
The Allies, Too campaign was created to give Christian students an opportunity to voice their commitment to making their high school and college campuses safe, harassment free, and truly diverse.

You may have discovered that sometimes those who advocate "tolerance" and "diversity" are really only seeking to get their own viewpoint up on a soapbox--and silence or smear anyone who dares to disagree.

We believe that tolerance means people treat each other with respect even when they disagree, that we are willing to hear each other out, engage in dialog, and pursue a peaceful and friendly environment even when we can't get others to come over to our way of thinking.

The Allies, Too campaign is a call to set aside our agenda on the issues for a moment and stand up for the things we can all agree on: true tolerance, safety and respect. It's a chance to throw off the dishonest, unfair labels of bigotry and hatred that some people use to silence others' points of view. It's a call to your community to engage in honest reasoning and debate, not a culture war.

The Mechanics
The Allies, Too program consists of a three-point pledge that Christian Students can publicly take:

1. To never use slurs or demeaning language against a person or group.

2. To, whenever possible, make an effort to stop any harassment or name-calling they see.

3. To share and defend their beliefs with gentleness and respect, and pursue honest dialog with those who disagree.
