Rest for Resistance

Rest for Resistance strives to uplift marginalized communities, those who rarely get access to adequate health care or social support. We center the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC).

We create healing spaces for LGBTQ2SIA+ individuals, namely queer & trans people of color (QTPoC), as well as other stigmatized groups such as persons with disabilities, sex workers, immigrants, and those living at the intersections of all of the above.

Since 2017, this website has been a space for raw experiences that are too often silenced. Interested in contributing? Feel free to reach out with writing and art portfolios.

Next Steps

We're continuing to host meditations virtually and are organizing our 2nd annual REST FEST as an act of resistance against oppression. New in 2023 is the Burnt Out Activist Club, meeting on Zoom every Wednesday. Our team is also scheming to re-launch our publishing efforts.
