This Juneteenth, Honor Rest as a Form of Resistance
This Juneteenth, we are embracing rest as an act of resistance and self-care. As we honor the journey toward freedom and justice, let's take time to recharge and reflect. The free labor carried on the backs of many of our ancestors fed into a system of capitalism rooted in violence and theft. We rest in their honor, renewing our spirits and strengthening our resolve for the work ahead.
Below, you'll find a specially curated Juneteenth booklist, a Freedom Sounds playlist, and videos designed to help you meditate and promote rest. Take this opportunity to rejuvenate and honor the legacy of those who came before us, recognizing that rest is a powerful act of resistance. Enjoy these thoughtful selections and join us in celebrating freedom and the power of rest.

This self-paced course is delivered straight to your inbox. Sign up today by filling out the form on this page. The Justice Journey course begins June 27th.
