Listened to this today and it was such a timely and wonderful conversation.
Aaron Goggans and I talk about what happens when movements start running on empty—how trauma, burnout, and dysregulation can shape our organizing, and what it takes to sustain ourselves and each other in a moment of crisis and emergency. I found this conversation so helpful, and I hope you will too.
Burnout Is Not Inevitable: Building Movements That Can Hold Us
“Care really should be at the center of our strategy, of our analysis, and of our practice,” says Aaron Goggans.

I just started reading Becoming Kin by Patty Krawec, and I’m feeling very grateful for her shared wisdom and knowledge. Currently processing “return to yourself and pick up your bundle” and what that means as I look around my home.

Rachel Corrie would have been 46 today. Israeli tanks ran over her with a bulldozer.
Take some time to read her words explaining why she was willing to risk her life for Palestine - and of the insidious genocide there that long predates 2023.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

This was so beautiful to read as I prepare to offer a support group for international development/ humanitarian aid folks, what a wonderful grounding exercise and many other resources offered here. ❤️
I wrote about managing overwhelm during these times and about practices that can help us regulate our emotions on our own and in our organizing groups.
Managing Overwhelm Amid Trump's Chaos
To fight the inhumanity of our enemies, we must nurture our own humanity, and cherish what makes our existence meaningful and worthwhile.

Thanks for this reminder, it doesn’t feel like enough but it’s what it is.
Also: I talk to a lot of full time carers. Who are tending to disabled kids or elders, some who are also contending with disability themselves
You are resisting.
You have been. Protecting and caring for those who are vulnerable is the work.
