"What's Our Next Move as Citzens, Not Politicians?"
 "LGBTQ people for millennia have known what a version of PTSD feels like. Even when it looked safe, they still felt as if they needed to look over their shoulder and be wary as if more discrimination was inevitable. They’ve had to watch those who even claimed they loved them vote against their equality.
A broader PTSD might explain many reactions to the very overall positive news represented by the November election results. So many Americans for the last ten years have felt as if the nation was going in the wrong and very dark direction.
But now, with hope in the future somewhat restored the question is how do we all approach the new political possibilities. With a new Congress, what is our role as citizens?

 The
Fairness Project On-Line Activist Tool Kit
The Fairness Project is in the process
of making available the handout materials from
Dr. Minor's popular workshop: "Being an Activist
Without Being a Victim." These materials are chosen
because they encourage activist leadership to proceed
from a progressive, healing model which contradicts
the models of leadership found in most popular
forms, models that are meant to keep the system
in place rather than to make changes that support
humanity, and result in burnout among leaders.
