You take to the streets and make your voice heard. You volunteer, donate, and sign petitions. A wave of excitement builds, and you\u2019re just sure <\/em>that real change is right around the corner…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then\u2014nothing happens. Or at least it can feel that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incremental progress is maddening, especially if you\u2019ve put your blood, sweat, and tears into a cause. So it\u2019s no surprise that \u201cactivist burnout\u201d is a real risk for anyone who struggles to improve the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recently, progressive Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez admitted to her Instagram followers that even she felt \u201clike giving up\u201d that day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBurnout is SO common among young activists because people jump in and feel like they need to be running on all cylinders, all the time, or else they\u2019re not \u2018in the fight,\u2019\u201d she wrote. \u201cIt ends up doing more harm than good. We don\u2019t need you giving 500% for 6 months. We need everybody doing what they can, every day, as a way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemonade asked a few young activists\u2014passionate about causes ranging from racial justice to gun control and homelessness\u2014to share their thoughts on how to keep morale up, even when the going gets tough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t give in to cynicism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSometimes it can be hard to believe that change is possible, but just remember that we’ve been taught to think this way in order to maintain systems of injustice,\u201d says British artist and activist Jahnavi Inness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the words of the great Gil Scott-Heron<\/a>, ‘The revolution will not be televised.’ It’s about having a ‘mental click’ and awareness that then goes to bring about change. Sometimes change can feel slow, or you may feel like nothing is being achieved\u2014but campaigning and starting conversations about these issues does actually help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t be afraid of boredom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, activism is about the unflashy stuff: bureaucracy, organization, and paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s okay if the work you\u2019re doing seems boring,\u201d counsels Toni Brannagan, a content editor at Thinx who\u2019s involved with organizations that include Girls Write Now<\/a> and the Bowery Mission<\/a>. \u201cThere\u2019s plenty of activist work that is fast-paced and exciting, but there\u2019s also a lot that just involves things like calling 300 people down a list. It\u2019s all important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get offline, and out of your comfort zone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no swifter road to activist burnout than tweeting brilliant hot takes all day\u2014while forgetting to step out into the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you can, take your activism offline,\u201d Brannagan says. \u201cThinking about social media as a starting point for education\u2014then engaging with a movement or subject more thoroughly\u2014will probably lead to more productive, sustained action. Find and connect with the progressives in your community, and get involved with their initiatives. Know who represents you where you actually live, and know the issues that affect your neighbors…especially if they don\u2019t<\/em> affect you personally!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let art lift your spirits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no secret that we at Lemonade are big art fans<\/a>. But contemporary art can offer more than just stunning visuals or mind-bending effects\u2014it can engage directly with activism, in a way that both educates and inspires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Artists are eccentrics, and they think differently. Some of their offbeat ideas might help reignite your own activist fires. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Interested in seeing how contemporary artists are pushing forward the conversation around the issues you\u2019re passionate about? For starters, why not check out Olafur Eliasson<\/a> (climate change); Hank Willis Thomas<\/a>, Kara Walker<\/a>, Dread Scott<\/a>, and Theaster Gates<\/a> (racism and racial justice); Catherine Opie<\/a> and Zackary Drucker<\/a> (LGBTQ+ rights); Pedro Reyes<\/a> (gun control); and Tanya Bruguera<\/a> or street artist JR<\/a> (immigration).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the New York Times<\/em> has an excellent rundown of historical protest art<\/a>, proving how creativity and activism have long been intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realize that not everyone can take a break<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get tunnel vision, and realize that your personal situation as an activist may be very different from that of your peers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for all of us engaging in this work to consider that the ability to step back from an issue is a privilege in itself,\u201d Brannagan says. \u201cAvoid the instinct to center [yourself] and [your] feelings, especially if [you] are new to a cause. When we do take time for ourselves away from issues, it should be with the awareness that there are folks that cannot, and that\u2019s the motivation we should use to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep your focus sharp<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It can be tempting to be an activist jack-of-all-trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of societal pressure right now for socially conscious people to be semi-well-versed in a dozen progressive causes,\u201d Brannagan says. \u201cWhile that\u2019s not the worst thing, I have found it more productive to consistently commit to the movements I\u2019m passionate about instead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Avoiding burnout might mean that you focus on your piece of the puzzle, and make the best effort you can to fit it into the larger picture. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Choose outrage over anxiety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The writer Masha Gessen, speaking with pundit and TV host Chris Hayes, offered salient advice about the best way to respond to contemporary political realities\u2014a way to \u201cmaintain a level of rage\u201d that is equal to the current moment. While getting mad can often be counterproductive in daily life, in some cases it can actually be…productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnxiety is what makes us controllable,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a natural response to what\u2019s happening, but it makes us slow and unable to act. And outrage will drive us to action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realize that lasting change may be on the way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you\u2019re tempted to give up on your activism\u2014or to think that history is simply doomed to repeat itself, forever\u2014take heart from Generation Z.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An excellent new series from Politico<\/a>, examining the culture and attitudes of those born in the mid-1990s, offers key insights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMembers of Generation Z who are of voting age\u201418- to 23-year-olds\u2014want more government solutions. They rank climate change, racism and economic inequality consistently in their top issues, according to polls, and they participated in greater numbers during their first midterm (in 2018) than previous generations did theirs,\u201d Politico notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucially, the formative experiences these young people are having in 2020 might well carry forward long into the future: \u201cTo members of Generation Z, who have come of voting age in the past five years, President Donald Trump and Republicanism are one and the same. And most pollsters and experts on voting behavior agree that patterns are developed early \u2014 how a person votes in their early years, and the impressions they form from high school into young adulthood, stick with them in one form or another for decades.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be mindful of tension among<\/em> activists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Researcher Paul Gurski<\/a> has found<\/a> that one of the most significant cause of activist burnout is actually \u201cin-movement,\u201d meaning that it\u2019s caused by friction between activists themselves. (That could include, he notes, \u201cbigotry\/discrimination within movements, culture of martyrdom, [or] competition for recognition.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to remember that social movements aren\u2019t monolithic, and that you\u2019re not always going to agree with the people you\u2019re fighting side by side with. Groups can splinter; small arguments can devolve into wars; stray comments can lead to the so-called \u201ccancellation\u201d of once prominent voices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Remember that you\u2019re ultimately on the same side, and try to avoid letting internal dramas derail your momentum.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Be patient…and be kind to yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomething I\u2019ve grappled with is that change doesn\u2019t come tomorrow,\u201d says Matthew Hogenmiller, the 18-year-old social media manager of March For Our Lives<\/a>. \u201cWe don\u2019t see the fruition of our work in a day. It\u2019s important to accept that this is a long fight and that we have to remain in a healthy space. You can\u2019t drain yourself in order to get this work done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a point echoed again and again by activists who are committed to the long haul. A 2015 study<\/a> in the Journal of Human Rights Practice<\/em> argued that many American social justice activists \u201care not intentional about tending to their own well-being. Doing so is associated in some SJHR [social Justice \/ human rights] circles with a lack of commitment or with self-indulgence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing self-indulgent about taking time out for yourself. It just means you\u2019ll be able to pause, regroup… and return to fight another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
