Want to Read $ 7.39"In the context of professionalized nonprofit organizations, groups are urged to be single-issue oriented, framing their message around "deserving" people within the population they serve, and using tactics palatable to elites."-Dean Spade, Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity in This Crisis (And the Next)
"When we feel bad, we often automatically decide that either we are bad or another person is bad. Both of these moves cause damage and distort the truth, which is that we are all navigating difficult conditions the best we can, and we all have a lot to learn and unlearn."-Dean Spade, Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity in This Crisis (And the Next)
"Burnout is the combination of resentment, exhaustion, shame, and frustration that make us lose connection to pleasure and passion in the work, and instead encounter difficult feelings like avoidance, compulsion, control, and anxiety. If it were just exhaustion we could take a break and rest and go back. But people who feel burnt out often feel they cannot return to the work or that the group or work they were part of is toxic."-Dean Spade, Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity in This Crisis (And the Next)
