COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter are urgent challenges that are knocking on the health promotion profession's door. The obvious tactic for those who aspire to be trusted allies is to answer. This editorial defines health promotion allyship as a continuous process where those who are part of in groups, such as white males, seek to build trust with, and provide visible advocacy for, out groups such as Black people. We will know we are effective allies only when we are recognized as such by out groups. The public health anti-racism movement started by Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones is summarized along with the introduction of a framework that can serve as a call to action for the health promotion profession. The exemplary allyship that occurred at an event later coined as The Lincoln Cottage Assembly is also described.
COVID-19 和“黑人的命也是命”运动是敲响健康促进专业大门的紧迫挑战。那些渴望成为值得信赖盟友的人的明显策略是做出回应。本社论将健康促进伙伴关系定义为一个持续的过程，在此过程中，那些属于群体（如白人男性）的人试图与黑人等群体建立信任，并为他们提供可见的支持。只有当我们被群体外的人认可为盟友时，我们才知道自己是有效的盟友。总结了卡马拉·菲利斯·琼斯博士发起的公共卫生反种族主义运动，并介绍了一个可以作为健康促进专业行动呼吁的框架。还描述了后来被称为“林肯小屋大会”的活动中所展现的典范性伙伴关系。
