Right now, we have the least to share about being co-conspirators because it's still a fresh concept to most of us. In our discussion and reading, the jump from accomplice to co-conspirator seems to exist in the intersection of initiative and risk. Being an accomplice means taking some form of risk, but being a co-conspirator is actively and intentionally using your position to take risks and act on behalf of traditionally marginalized people and groups. As we work through the next three months of discussion, we'll come back to all three concepts - ally, accomplice, and co-conspirator - to talk about what these can look like in our work and wider, library communities. A note on "tiers"It feels natural to us to want to tier the concepts of ally, accomplice, and co-conspirator, but we want to be clear that this isn't something you can level up like a video game or ace like a class. It's also not our place to claim any of these labels for ourselves; we demonstrate our commitment to these concepts through our actions. Focus on the work - growth, learning, humility - rather than the optics.
