Showing up like it’s second nature because it should be. For so long we’ve been focused on the sound of our own voice that we barely focus on the intent and purpose with which we speak our words. We’re too concerned with how we look in the execution of an action than the action and aftereffect itself. We’re too concerned with ourselves to realize that the acceptance, love, safety, and connection we crave lies in the contributions we make towards, and worth we place in others and our community. Therein lies our power. We need all organs to make a human body work. Show up wherever, whenever, with whomever. Even if you’re the only person in the room. Show up like it’s second nature. Feel it to heal it. If you’re protesting👇 RP @frontlinemedics compiled in collaboration between @unnff and @lrnsark “I’ve created/compiled a resource that addresses how to navigate protesting in the time of COVID-19. With the pandemic as an added risk it is more important than ever to #protestsafely. We’ve put this guide together to help you advocate for community safety and public health. If you have any questions or would like to see our references, do not hesitate to reach out to us. Be safe, take good care, and advocate for justice in whatever capacity you can. Wear a mask and eye protection, carry lots of water for hydration and first aid, and have a health plan for before, during, and after your participation. This guide is by no means exhaustive but we hope that it can provide some help. Remember: wearing a mask and aiming to maintain social distance is an effective way to lower the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Protect your health and the health of the community at large. The use of tear gas in the protests creates added health risks so please practice as much caution as you can.” #protestandpandemic #protestsafety #blm #blacklivesmatter # https://www.instagram.com/p/CBDVYAcg-gS/?igshid=tdew1z8n8b7q
