Calling in” doesn’t mean you avoid calling out injustice when you see it, right?

That’s right. I created a continuum—I call it “The 5 C Continuum.”

There’s calling out, which is publicly shaming people. There’s canceling somebody, which is when you want someone to really suffer, lose their job, lose their platform, or at least take a hit to their reputation. There’s calling in, which is when you use love and respect instead of anger, blaming and shaming to pursue that accountability. 

Then, there’s calling on. Sometimes you don’t want to give people your time and attention. Calling on is what you do when you want people to do better, but you’re not going to invest the time to make them do better. And the fifth C is calling it off. Why are you bothering to waste your precious time with people lying, trolling, cherry picking their facts, and gaslighting you? Whether that’s happening online or in person, you’ve got a choice to disconnect, and I recommend that you do it. – Loretta J. Ross
