Easy Action For Busy Families: November

It's time to transform despair into overwhelm - one easy action at a time

You give me hope!

This November, we take action to strengthen democracy, transform the adoption & donor industry, hold space for Indigenous mourning, and protect trans kids.

This month’s 1-Minute Actions include:

• A few 30-second petitions

• A couple of virtual workshops and trainings

• Free and sliding-scale programs to support caregivers, educators and parents

If you’re too overwhelmed to take to the streets - I feel you

That’s why our quick actions are accessible from home, whether you’re waiting at the bus stop or have locked yourself in the bathroom for a few minutes to weep.

Be sure to share your own initiatives in the comments, so we can amplify the issues that matter to you!

“My activism feels 70% authentic and 30% performative.

I’m not telling people I’m a good person. I’m trying to show it.

One of the things I’m really excited about this incubator is that it allows me courageous space to peel back that 30%”

– Anonymous, Winter Incubator 2021

Coming up next

I’ll be back in a couple weeks with a new December Family Action Toolkit.

In the meantime, join the wait list for the Caregiver Winter Incubator. We’ll gather for size weeks this winter to learn how to resist saviorism, martyrom, and toxic hustle to model healthy activism for our kids.

with you,

Ashia
