The Resilient Activist

Replenish. Nurture. Inspire.

Help The Resilient Activist support environmentalists as they work to nourish a more resilient world.

THE NEED

Activists, especially environmental justice activists, are underappreciated heroes who carry the weight of the world in their hearts, minds, and bodies every single day. These gentle souls step into activism based on a fervent desire to right a wrong, heal a pain, or alleviate a grief with a pervasive awareness of the fragility of ecosystems, wildlife, and humanity on this planet. Compassionate and sensitive, many activists struggle with depression, grief, and a sense of impending failure over ongoing ecological destruction. Learn more in the Ecopsychepedia: Climate Activists and Psychological Distress, written by our founder, Sami Aaron.
