Radical Rest & Self-Care for Racial Justice Advocates

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. If you’re exhausted from fighting battles on multiple fronts, this workshop is your act of defiance.

Radical Rest & Self-Care for Racial Justice Advocates, our new webinar series offered in two 2.5-hour sessions, 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.
