#### Sunday @ 9 am ..Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle
*Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle* by Emily and Amelia Nagoski explores why stress lingers in our bodies long after the immediate crisis has passed, and how we can interrupt the cycle through rest, connection, movement, boundaries, and joy. Organizers are regularly asked to absorb urgency, outrage, grief, and other people’s needs; without ways to process that load, exhaustion becomes a predictable political outcome.
This discussion is for anyone who wants to build a practice of care sturdy enough to support the long haul—because a movement cannot afford to treat its people as disposable.
It is an antidote to doomscrolling and magical thinking: organized people change what looks inevitable by showing up, making a plan, and bringing others with them.
#### Join the 4pm CDT we have *This Is the Plan: How to End America’s Meltdown & Save Democracy* by Ben Wikler, turns toward the collective work of democratic renewal. Drawing from his organizing and political experience in Wisconsin, Wikler lays out a practical argument for building durable power, expanding participation, and addressing the systems that undermine democracy—not simply focusing on a single candidate or election.
