Balancing a devotion to activism with personal relationships can be incredibly difficult. Kitty Stryker shares her experience as an activist, street medic, and relationship educator to help others pursue the important work while maintaining healthy relationships and without burning out. Both a call to action and a candid memoir, Stryker is open about what she has learned and her perceived limitations. Recognizing that it can feel overwhelming to know how to effectively make change, she encourages readers to consider how they can best advocate for causes they believe in, presenting different types of activism, and urging readers to honestly examine their own hesitations. She also emphasizes that without taking care of our interpersonal relationships, many people burn out of activism at the very time when we need more people on the ground, and offers practical strategies to avoid this and to encourage healthy relationships.
Kitty Stryker has been working on defining and creating a consent culture for over a decade. Based in Berkeley, CA, she’s the editor of Ask: Building Consent Culture and author of Ask Yourself: The Consent Culture Workbook, Say More: Consent Conversations for Teens and Love Rebels: How I Learned to Burn It Down Without Burning Out. She is especially interested in bringing conversations about consent into everyday life.
