You are invited to a webinar:



Balancing Activism and Self-Care: Staying Sane for Another Day



Wednesday, October 6, 2021 7:30 - 9:00 PM CT



As activists and as contributors to positive social changes, there are often pressures and setbacks in our attempts to create a better and equal world. How do we move forward and make the changes that we envision? How do we maintain healthy and friendly relationships with each other while changing the world? How do we handle conflicts? How do social justice organizations bolster each other during tragedy and hardship? The experiences of our panelists will give us insights and clues to better functioning within the movements for social change. As Paul Wellstone said, "We all do better when we all do better".

The purpose of this webinar is to highlight the causes of the pressures of political life, whether it be in a trade union, political party or social justice movement. Pressures can become overwhelming to the point that we as individuals neglect our personal lives. Consequently, we do not think about how society can be structured differently to support emotional, physical and mental well-being for all people. The webinar will attempt offer suggestions for societal changes which could result in robust emotional, physical and mental health for the 99%.
