Join us on November 18 from 4:30 - 6 pm ET. Talk It Out Together: This month we’ll discuss grief & loss in the anti-violence field. What are you grieving? Where do you store grief in your body? How is your grief showing up? Is burnout a form / manifestation of grief? If so, what would healing look like when burnout is tied to grief? How can organizations recognize & repair when burnout may actually be rooted in unacknowledged grief (personal or collective)?

Why Unionizing? Unionizing is not workers “being difficult” or choosing their wellbeing over survivor safety. Unionizing is an act of love, a sign of commitment to this work. Anti-violence workers, many survivors themselves, deserve to have their needs met to continue supporting survivors. You cannot pour from an empty cup. #WorkerPowerWednesday; We Deserve Better Project

Turnover is high in the #AntiViolence field, but we can reduce this by making sure workers, many of them survivors themselves, have healthy, supportive workplaces to continue doing the work they love. #WorkerPowerWednesday
