New webinar: Radical Rest & Self-Care for Racial Justice Advocates

📅 May 22, 2025 – 1:00-3:30 pm EST

Under the current presidential administration, many racial justice advocates face high caseloads, job insecurity, and the trauma of fighting seemingly-intractable systems of oppression.

In this landscape, scholar-poet Audre Lorde reminds us that rest isn’t indulgence — it’s survival. Grind culture tells us to push harder, but the long hours and gravity of advocacy work can lead to burnout. If you’re exhausted from fighting battles on multiple fronts — courtrooms, legislatures, and the streets — this workshop is your act of defiance.

Our new 2.5-hour webinar Radical Rest & Self-Care for Racial Justice Advocates equips you with tools to:

• Regulate your nervous system after years of high-stakes advocacy under political violence
• Unlearn “urgency addiction” — a trauma response to the nonstop crises of the Trump era
• Spot systemic sabotage — including how racial capitalism exploits your labor while denying your humanity
• Share sustainable strategies with lawyers and advocates on the front lines of legislative fights

➡️ Workshop Highlights:

• “Rest Under Siege”: how Trump-era tactics (e.g., deliberate overload, strategic confusion) drain advocates
• Case studies on organizations resisting burnout culture in the second Trump administration

➡️ Your Takeaway: Personalized rest tools—because you can’t pour from an empty cup.

The system fears a well-rested advocate.
