How do I take action from where I am? A Workshop Series For Grounding Ourselves in the Fight Ahead In the past couple of weeks, I have received emails, direct messages, and phone calls from friends, family and strangers asking the same question: “How do I take action where I am?” Since I was young, I’ve been engaged in activism, so I understand why some people think I have relevant insights to offer. The question prompted me to adapt a list of actions that are not voting or protesting by Frontline Medics to share with those who were reaching out. Some people have told me the list was helpful, and others asked: “But how do I start?” It’s hard to know what people are actually asking when, after being provided with a list of ideas, still cannot act. I think that there are usually other issues that are preventing action and those need to be thought through and interrogated. No one can do that for others. We must do it for ourselves sometimes alongside others. I decided that it could be useful to create a container for people who want to act but aren’t sure yet how to start for whatever reasons. I reached out to some friends who have spent a lifetime taking action and asked them if they would offer a short webinar answering the question: “How do I take action where I am?” Each person generously said YES. So, I organized a mini-series of workshops titled “How Do I Take Action Where I Am? A Workshop Series for Grounding Ourselves in the Fight Ahead.”
