When people are not celebrating the small victories in the long battles for human rights we are fighting, I am terrified.
I am terrified of the worse threat of all to our movements: Giving up.
I am terrified that when people forget to celebrate their wins, they get so tired and discouraged that they give up the fight entirely. Discouragement leads to apathy. And apathy leads to defeat.
Please please, I implore you:
Take care of your mood
Celebrate the small wins ๐
Give others some time to celebrate, even when victories are only partial
We need hope to survive and thrive ๐
