Resisting Fascism -Resource Offerings & Literary Reminders
What we are witnessing is the devolvement of our country into fascism that has been occurring for generations. While it's overwhelming and it's only natural to want to check out and dissociate -that's exactly what they want us to do. We can stay informed and stay grounded while not letting the chaos drown us and lose our minds. This is a marathon -not a sprint. Lean into community, meet your neighbors, tailor your advocacy role based on your strengths.
Caring for ourselves is not selfish or self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare!! -Audre Lorde
Some Ways to Reclaim Your Power:
-
Honor your nervous system while recognizing that safety doesn't always mean stillness - sometimes resistance feels wild in our bodies
-
Connect with your local ecosystem - learn about native plants, animals, and the history of the land you're on
-
Build community resilience - know your neighbors, share resources, create mutual aid networks
-
Engage in collective healing practices - group meditation, movement classes, communal gardens
-
Find your role in resistance - not everyone is meant for frontline protest:
