Care for yourself with our guides
These Care Guides are woven from critical-liberatory psychologies and movements from around the world, as well as our own collective's experience. If you would like to share a Care Guide, feel free to email us at keriforactivists@gmail.com
All Guides
Celebrating diverse
practices of care
More than mental health or psychology professionals or scholarly books, we learn the most about how and what care and wellbeing looks like from defenders, from people with lived experience.
These are voices from genuine care experts, people who live each day fighting for the wellbeing of others.

Sabay kaming namamalengke, pinapansin namin yung hilig ng isa’t isa...

Kapag nawawalan ng pag-asa...Makikisama ako sa mga rally o protesta, at parang nahahawa ako sa pag-asa ng iba. Inaangkin ko na rin.
Whenever I lose hope, I would join rallies or protests — and it’s like I get infected by their hope. I start taking their hope for my own too.

Sa mga panahong namamanhid ako...iniisa-isa ko yung mga kasamang nasa loob ko - bawat ala-ala, parang tinitimbang ang bigat ng bawat butil ng bigas.
During times when I feel numb, one by one, I would remember my comrades who are with me - each memory, as though feeling the weight of every grain of rice.
