As we contend with the shock and awe tactics of the Trump Administration and the complacency of the US political apparatus as a whole, racial and social justice movements, workers & organizations need tools to sustain themselves and their work, without sacrificing one for the other.

Burnout is more than a self-help industry buzzword. It leads to long-term health consequences including autoimmune diseases, high blood pressure, and premature death, and transforms the contours and landscapes of our communities. The costs to nonprofits and wider justice movements due to increased turnover and depreciating productivity is millions.

Let’s work together towards elegant & collective solutions

Jasbir Puar builds on Achille Mbembe's concept of "necropolitics," which examines how states and systems decide who is disposable, by introducing "the right to maim." Systems don't always destroy us outright; often, they debilitate us gradually. Burnout exemplifies this slow maiming: it manifests as autoimmune diseases, high blood pressure, and other chronic conditions. With burnout among workers reaching 66% in 2025, an all-time high, we must reimagine our relationship to these systems and build more sustainable workplaces.

FOR GROUPS

Reclaiming Radical Rest for Racial and Social Justice Workplaces

A new study from 2025 found that burnout reached an all-time high of 66%. This is a two-part workshop series that reframes rest as a political strategy rather than individual self-care. Rooted in evidence-based and ancestral practices from Black and Indigenous resistance movements, these workshops offer both individual and collective care frameworks that honor advocates as whole humans beyond their productivity.

Moving Beyond Double-Speak and Rhetorical Fallacies: Tools for Direct Feedback that Honors Dignity for Workplaces

One of the deepest sources of burnout is the accumulation of unaddressed concerns between supervisees and supervisors—issues that feel too structural, too risky, or too easy to twist and avoid. Rhetorical fallacies like deflection, false equivalence, and strategic vagueness are used to obscure clarity, discriminate against workers, or force some to absorb the workload of those intentionally underperforming. Over time, this silence—and the double-speak tactics we adopt to survive it—erodes trust, clarity, and our capacity to do sustainable work together.

FOR INDIVIDUALS

Workers Navigating Burnout Under Racial and Other Capitalisms

This two-part series is for workers organizing against intersecting racial, imperial, ableist, cispatriarchial capitalisms and toward socially liberated futures—workers who are exhausted and afraid of the personal health implications, who've been told to "practice self-care" while laboring in conditions designed to extract everything from you, and who know that massages and going to the gym won't fix systemic problems.
