Video is a few minutes in length, worth a listen.

Towards the end she makes a comment about class solidarity, which reminded me of a topic I like to talk about: communities. Communities working together, pooling resources, and supporting each other. While spreading information about community support, and raising awareness, is very important (and most of what social media is, when communities and social media overlap), doing work in your communities is important for them to survive.

What work will depend on what the community is doing and what skills the members of the community can provide and need to source. Maybe the community is a literal garden, and it needs to be watered, weeded, and harvested. If the community garden only has people who spread the word there's a garden, but not people who plant, water, weed, and harvest, then there will soon be no garden.

Abstracting this out, when times take a turn for the worse, it is important to remember to prioritize your communities. Communities are how we survive hardship and thrive in abundance. Community action, moreso than individual action, is how we support each other, ourselves, and create change.

Prioritizing our communities can feel like a recipe for burnout, especially when a rapidly increasing number of us are feeling resource constrained for an ever increasing number of reasons. The strongest communities are built by those who know what activities nourish their souls and support their communities by doing those activities.

Perhaps it nourishes your soul to volunteer at your local soup kitchen. Perhaps it nourishes your soul to provide snacks and water at your local protests. As an overly specific example, I have a friend who specializes in data and supports her local community's homeless services by ensuring that services are being provided in areas that reach where the homeless population is currently distributed.

The point is: know yourself. Ask your communities what help they need, assess your skills, determine what help you can provide, and follow up by doing it.

Da man offenbar auch die grundlegendsten Selbstverständlichkeiten ausformulieren, aussprechen und unterstreichen muss: Ich bin Mitglied in einem Berufsverband, auch weil dieser ein „Manifest für Vielfalt“ formuliert hat, hinter dem ich in jedem Punkt uneingeschränkt stehe. Das zu betonen fühlt sich ein wenig an wie sich vorzustellen mit „Hallo, ich bin der Flo, ein Mensch“, aber so sind die Zeiten. https://www.bdg.de/themen/good-work/manifest-fuer-vielfalt/ #BDG #BetterTogether
