What’s your role in the social change ecosystem? (choose your own adventure enclosed! 💫)

There are so many ways to show up and participate in the movement.

So much to say here, but i’d love it if you had time to dig into the great work Deepa Iyer from Solidarity Is and Building Movement Project has created.

These diagrams (below) have been doing the rounds on social media of late, and i wanted to also share the article Deepa wrote that accompanies them,

Mapping Our Social Change Roles in Times of Crisis

as well as some questions for reflection to help you to discover what role is most aligned with your skills and heart! (linked below). A helpful prompt from Deepa Iyer before we dive in:

“…what are my values, how can I be aligned and in right relationship with them, what are the needs of the communities who anchor me, and what can I offer with my full energy?” - Deepa Iyer

Questions for reflection can be found here.

Realise i find myself between roles (hah, as usual!) but i’ve been reflecting and paying attention on what roles i’m mostly taken behind the scenes during this time. A good clue as to where your skills might lay?

I’d love to hear what role/s you feel most aligned with!
