Whew, what a year it has been! We have collectively navigated a global pandemic, economic and political unrest and climate crises alongside urgent calls for racial and gender justice, accountability in policing and the end of anti-Black racism. We have witnessed and endured a lot this year. The organizing and calls for justice while monumental and transformative, have demanded a lot from us and we may not have had as much time to rest and replenish ourselves. Practicing self-care has never felt more urgent than at the end of 2020.
