From Anger to Collapse to Action:
Activism When it Feels Like You Can’t Win
Making change in today’s political climate can feel like shouting into the void. Whether it’s disappointing election results, world conflicts, or the pervasive sexism of your everyday life, for most of us, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness are the name of the game.
The anger, grief, and collapse we’re feeling are normal reactions to catastrophes too big to conquer individually. So we shrink in on ourselves, repress our overwhelming emotions, and sink into our couches, numbing out with a social media feed we increasingly despise.
Is there another way? Maybe one that doesn’t give ad revenue to a cadre of megalomaniac billionaires with questionable politics?
Talk Outline:
This talk will focus on repairing our hurt, restoring our hope, and re-galvanizing ourselves for the activism ahead. We’ll cover:
- How collapse and numbness keep us from igniting change
- The lessons women and girls are taught at every life stage that keep us small and disconnected from our anger
- How to re-connect to your feelings – and the drive to change they create
- Concrete strategies to help you take positive action to challenge injustice
The goal of this talk is to help you pick yourself up and dust yourself off after a frustrating loss so you can keep going to create change.

Online WIMDI events use Zoom, and as such we cannot guarantee that no photos or screenshots will be taken of you during the event. We love it when our members connect at our events using both video and audio, but we understand if our members prefer to participate with their video turned off to preserve (more of) their privacy.
As part of this event we have the option of donation to the Pacific Association of First Nations Women for their scholarship fund for Indigenous women and girls. This is a concrete way - beyond land acknowledgement - to redistribute some of our collective financial privilege to support Indigenous women.
