We are nearly three years into the pandemic. At the same time we face an escalating climate crisis and are fighting to protect democracy from the rising tide of fascism.
Add to this our "normal" struggles of every day life and work.
We are coping with a lot. Too much.
During this traditional time of reflection and rest, I am sharing my conversation with Victor Narro, faculty at the UCLA Labor Center, author, and renown labor and immigrant rights activist. Mr. Narro recently released his latest book, "The Activist Spirit: Toward a Radical Solidarity". We talk openly about the toll ongoing crises take on our spirit and mental health and how we can heal and rejuvenate by tapping into the spiritual core of our social justice work.
Drawing on the words and ways of historic activists St. Francis of Assisi, Cesar Chavez, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and others, Mr. Narro uplifts the concept of "radical solidarity" - a recognition that our individual struggles, and, conversely, joys, are deeply interconnected to the struggles and joys of the broader community.
"This is true solidarity in action in the social justice movement - our interconnectedness and the spiritual force of love and compassion for one another..." - V. Narro
In other words, we are in this together.
