*[Enwl-eng] How to Prevent Activist Burnout

[ENWL]

                        When we're tackling massive issues like militarism, 
systemic racism, and climate change, how do we keep up the energy and 
courage to continue our work for peace and social transformation for the 
long haul? How can we maintain good self-care to prevent burnout from this 
challenging work? And, amidst a sea of email clogging our inboxes, how can 
we manage to stay organized in order to run successful, strategic campaigns 
for change?

                        We'll talk through these questions and much more on 
August 20 for our free webinar on How to Prevent Activist Burnout, featuring 
special guests Ravyn Wngz (Black Lives Matter Toronto), David Hartsough 
(Co-Founder, World BEYOND War), and Liz Remmerswaal (World BEYOND War New 
Zealand chapter coordinator).
