The we/us/our pronouns signal that we are members of groups that consider themselves a “people.” That is, we are in solidarity within our respective groups, see ourselves in community, and have a history and a culture that bind us together with those social categories. [1]

We/Us/Ours pronouns are about being in solidarity with oppressed and marginalized communities, allies, relationships, networking, collaboration, and caring for each other.

We use we/us/ours pronouns to refer to ourselves (e.g. "we" in place of "I" and "ours" instead of "mine"). Like, "Hello, we are Brian and we're new here. Could you show us where to get our name badge?"
