Refuel & Rise: Beating Activist Burnout Together

Fighting for what's right is a marathon, not a sprint. And even the strongest organizers hit a wall. If you've been running on empty, showing up anyway, and wondering how much longer you can keep going, this one is for you.
Join us for an honest, judgment-free gathering all about activist burnout and the self-care that gets you back on your feet. We'll talk about what burnout actually looks like, share what's worked (and what hasn't), and build real strategies to protect our energy so we can stay in this fight for the long haul.
What we'll cover: Spotting the warning signs before you crash. Practical rest and recovery that fits a busy life Setting boundaries without guilt. Leaning on community so no one carries it all alone. Coming back recharged and ready for the next fight
Bring yourself, bring a friend, bring your tired heart. We'll provide the space, the support, and the reminder that taking care of yourself IS part of the work. You can't pour from an empty cup. Let's fill each other back up.

Hello community,

I hate that I'm even having to sit here and type this out. I've always known that this was a possibility but I never thought something like this would happen to me. I am ready to tell my story and feel it's essential for people to be aware so our communities will start realizing how serious this is and that we need to all be out here fighting together so more stories like mine and many others don't get repeated. Now more than ever we need to unite!

Last Thursday, July 16th around 7:30p I was shot in my right foot while I was walking away with my back turned from my attacker, Brandon Booth, a GEO group employee. Not only did this GEO employee use his illegal personal weapon to shoot at two women walking away, but his co-workers told me that I deserved it, left and made me call 911 myself. This experience has had a sudden and severe impact on my life, I won't be able to walk for 6-8 weeks, and then I will have to learn how to walk again. I won't be able to enjoy any of my favorite hobbies like skating, snowboarding or hiking for the unforeseeable future. I love my job as a server but I'm not able to do it. My life has been turned upside down. This is the most painful and traumatizing experience that I have ever endured.

This has had a lifelong impact on me. I thought my life was at risk and that I was sacrificing my life for the cause. No one should feel that way and too many people do, especially immigrants who have to live with this fear 24/7. In order to prevent more lives from suffering from this reality we need to do better and connect with our community members to fight this fascist regime. We have to fight for one another but especially for our marginalized community members and we won't be able to win this fight without you.

Thank you for all the love and support.

I am new to this group but I am fed up with ice in our state! I heard there are singing vigils you can join. I want to be a part of this. Please, can anyone direct me to the time and day, location of the protests?

The victims of the recent tragic shooting needs you in this fight!

Two of your community members experienced one of the most traumatizing experiences in life and will forever live with the impact of this. These victims stared down a barrel of a gun and thought they were sacrificing their lives for the cause while accepting that their lives are insignificant when it comes to the greater good. Luckily this very scary situation didn't end up worse than it did but the victim who was shot in the foot will take months to heal and and even longer to learn how to walk again. Why did she get shot? Because they were utilizing their first amendment right to speak out against this ever oppressive regime and fighting for the prisoners being tortured by GEO and ICE. The Nazi's have killed 4 people and shot one of your fellow activists in less than a week!!! This event is being reported on worldwide and the time to unify and show strength is now while the world is watching Denver and this awful event. We have to take advantage of the spotlight and we have to show the fascist regime that when they hurt one of our own, we come back twice as strong.

It breaks the victims hearts to have to ask this but please show compassion and support to them. Victim blaming of any kind is absolutely unacceptable and makes a traumatizing situation that much more traumatic. Now is not the time to bestow division and we hope that future victims (hopefully this never happens again!) they do not have to endure the ridicule and abandonment by most of their community. We have to have love, compassion and unity!

The shooting victim wants the world to learn about the cruel torture that Aurora GEO inflicts on innocent inmates and protestors. We need to use this time to amplify the voices of the prisoners whose had theirs stolen and to make the world know how evil GEO is. The prisoners are enduring Turburculosis outbreaks, lack of proper hygiene, improper dietary need, and being beaten. The shooter was know for physically abusing inmates and GEO hired him with a long criminal background.

It is time to take the fight to GEO. It is time to show up and let them know we're in this until the shut down of the Aurora Concentration Camp.

The victim will be speaking at tomorrow's rally at the Aurora GEO facility at 10a hosted by DACAC, CSO, and FRSO. After the rally there will be a press conference, please come show solidarity with your fellow activists that needs your support now more than ever.

Here is a GoFundMe for the shooting victim. She will have months of healing and ever mounting medical bills and any help is appreciated. This GoFundMe is not associated with any of the event organizers.
