Indivisibles,
Sometimes it seems as if there is a new crisis barreling our country
toward authoritarianism every day. How do we keep ourselves activated in
the face of so many attacks on our country, our rights, our very
personhood? [ [link removed] ]Register for our final Solidarity in Action call of the
year: Resilience for Sustainable Activism with special guest Nkem Ndefo on
Thursday, December 4, at 7pm ET/4pm PT to learn about the Resilience
Toolkit.
[ [link removed] ]Solidarity in Action: Resilience for Sustainiable Activism on Thursday,
December 4
Would-be authoritarians love to flood the zone. Flooding the zone is a
tactic used to move an aggressive agenda forward in so many directions, at
the same time, that it becomes overwhelming. We are forced to fight back
on too many horrific fronts, exhausting our spirits and making it
impossible to focus.
It is important to understand that we are currently experiencing this
tactic so that we can counteract its impacts.
At this call, we’ll learn how to regulate in real time while acknowledging
that our responses are predictable and normal in the face of unyielding
stress and trauma. You’ll leave with practical tools and strategies to
help you stabilize and move through the stress from Nkem Ndefo.

self-awareness, supports stabilization from the impacts of personal and
collective trauma, and nurtures adaptive capacity in the face of stress --
all within an ecologically sensitive and social justice-oriented
framework. She brings extensive experience as a clinician, educator,
researcher, and community strategist to innovative programs that address
trauma and inequity, build resilience, and catalyze liberatory change for
individuals and organizations across the U.S. and globally. She is known
for her unique ability to connect with people of all types by holding
powerful liberatory spaces, weaving complex concepts into accessible
narratives, and creating synergistic and collaborative learning
communities that nourish people’s innate capacity for healing, wellness,
and connection. Nkem is especially committed to working in solidarity with
people most impacted by violence and marginalization.

Advancing Our Values -- Solidarity in Action Training Series
Solidarity in Action is our speaker series bringing together Indivisibles
from across the country to learn from experts on systemic change and
allyship. Authoritarianism succeeds when it targets vulnerable
populations, and everyone turns aside. We will not look away. With this
speaker series, we’re going to learn how to better support impacted
communities from experts in the field.

It is not sustainable to burn out every few months in this fight -- we are
in it for the long haul and must prepare for that reality. Join our final
Solidarity in Action call of the year, and remember that rest and joy are
necessary tools of resistance, not options or rewards. [ [link removed] ]Join Resilience
