Chat Questions Jan 12, 2017: Advocacy in 2017
It’s been a while since we had chat, I know. My health hasn’t been great lately and, let’s face it, I think a lot of us are feeling pretty defeated, too.
I’ll be honest – as a queer and disabled sexuality educator/disability activist who grew up in poverty and abuse and tries to be as intersectional in advocacy as possible? I don’t feel like this country wants me here right now. That is really hard to balance with doing social justice work.
I know I’m not the only one dealing with these feels. Tonight, let’s talk through some of this and come up with some advocacy ideas together. If we can help each other, the work that we do goes further.
This will be a really chill chat tonight. We are going to check in with each other. No one can pour tea from an empty cup.
We are going to check in with each other. No one can pour tea from an empty cup so we need to talk about self-care.
We’ll talk about some struggles we’re having. Next, we will see if we can brainstorm on advocacy together.
Join us tonight at 7 pm Eastern over on Twitter using the tag #chronicsex.
