What You Will (20 min)

This is your free time to contribute in the way that makes the most sense to you. Maybe you need to journal or paint. Maybe you need to call a friend and talk about this. Maybe you need to watch videos from journalists in Gaza and the West Bank. Maybe you need to be in fetal position. Some suggested activity themes:

• current events - what is happening RIGHT NOW? this is time to go look if you have not.
• Community - break bread. Make food for someone who is with us in the fight but whose spirits are low.
• Restoration - as you recenter, honor how your eyes feel after crying. Honor your nausea. Honor if your throat is raw after a protest. One thing we can do to divest from playing along is we can center ourselves in how our body feels fighting oppression instead of centering ourselves to going back to work and gaslighting ourselves.
• Resilient communities check on each other - a heart to heart phone call goes a long way
