  • Cultivate kindness, compassion, forgiveness and the capacity to listen and be changed by what you hear.  We want to BE the change we want to see.
  • Take time to do whatever it is that brings you joy
  • Find one or two ACTION buddies – people to make phone calls with, go marches with, host an activist party with.  It can be fun to be activists together.
