Quick January Action For Busy Families

Transform despair into overwhelm - one quick action at a time

You give us hope!

This January, we get tenacious in supporting multiply-targeted elders, healthcare access, people targeted by police brutality, and ethnic cleansing.

This month’s 1-Minute Actions include:

• 5- Second text and petitions

• Easy letter templates addressing racism and Islamophobia in school curriculum

• Free, short bystander intervention workshops to end antisemitic & Islamophobic harassment

• Restorative craft & writing workshops to care for yourself as a targeted parent

Coming up next

Before the new Dragon Year, I’m gonna be reflabulagoratating* all the stuff I create

(toolkits! actions! workshops! grassroots local action! collaborations! seasonal collectives! luminary braintrust experiments! dealing with brute force website attacks from haters! trying to find new supporters! and too much more!)

… and try to caaaarefully place it in a line of simple bread crumb-style updates for anxious, overwhelmed parents over the next year.

So you can courageously engage - without getting overwhelmed and crumbling like a pile of soggy cheerios at the bottom of a diaper bag.

So bear with me as I slow down (or speed up) with emails, letting you know what’s available, how you can use it, and how you can join me or support this work.

I’m doing my best, and sometimes my best looks…messy and confusing.

with you,

Ashia

*There is no word for my process, so this one will have to do for now.

PS: Kick off your new year with 25 Days of Kindness!

PPS: Everyone give a big virtual high-five to our new supporter, Sarah C., who to chose to support my work with a paid membership to this Substack newsletter! Thanks for keeping these resources free for families who can’t afford a paywall, you’re the bees knees, Sarah!

Does my work help you ignite kind & curious kiddos?
