You are beloved and valuable. You are enough. If there’s nothing else you take from this guide, may it be these words. But sometimes it takes more than words to help us put into place the realities that will support our survival and wellbeing, especially in deeply stressful times and circumstances.
This is a guide intended for social justice warriors and changemakers to help you create the conditions, reminders and practices that can support you in times of intensity– whether it’s a personal/work crisis, escalation in a community organizing campaign, or election season. You can use these prompts for your own reflection and planning, or in a group among community. Faith Matters Network created this in 2020 in preparation for the presidential election, and hope it can continue to be of use through all political moments in time.
