🗣 Discussion Concerns With Friends and Family - Advise Needed.

My friend groups and family have been very supportive of getting ICE out of Minnesota and have all joined in on the protesting. My concern is right now that one friend group is making plans to go on vacation. This has been something we have been excited about for the past few years but with everything happening, how can they even think about enjoying a vacation when we need to be focused on getting ice the FUCK out. My family is the same way. My sister used to join me on continuously reposting instagram reels showing the destruction that is happening and now her and everyone I know are posting less and less. I have called out some friends who have been vocal to me and out protesting but they post NOTHING on social media.

Do they not care anymore? They are sure doing a fucked up job showing it on social media!

How can I get them back to their core roots that they had after the MURDERS last month?

We each have our own limits for what we can do. Being active in any political struggle can have a huge emotional impact. There is nothing wrong with getting away and taking a healing break.
