We're officially halfway through our Week of Action! Today, we're taking a small break to recharge and remind you that self-care for activists is important. Pro-Assyrian activism and advocacy can often be stressful, demoralizing, and overwhelming given the many challenges faced by Assyrians today. Self-care is not escapism—rather, it's a way to remain present, connected, and committed. And remember: There is more to the Assyrian experience than surviving genocide. While it's important to understand the atrocities committed against Assyrians and the systemic barriers that have continued to oppress them, it is equally important to understand their rich history of resilience and innovation.
