Thank you so much for this, Dana! A little side benefit to activism is that doing something is personally empowering and makes you feel better.

Really powerful framing on making action accessible when capacity is low. The idea that grief doesnt disqualify us from helping is something I've struggled with personaly. Breaking it down into 2-minute actions removes the excuse that we need to be at 100% to make a differenc. I think the genius here is treating activism like any other habit, where consistency matters more than intensity.

Yes, treating it like a habit! The small, daily actions add up. And I love Pamela's perspective in her comment that doing something is personally empowering, which helps us feel better all around.
