Hope is a discipline

🌲 Hope is a discipline

Hope is something that is cultivated, not something that anyone has inherently. As organizers, we build hope through our organizing and through our Narrative storytelling in organizing. We should also attempt to collectivize care and come together as a community to empathize and support each other. We do this through organizing in the Grassroots and through Solidarity, not charity.

Hope isn’t an emotion, you know? Hope is not optimism. (Kaba 2021, 26)
