How can we balance urgency with sustainability to prevent burnout in our movements/advocacy works?

Hello Communities Xperience participants! You can send in your questions here now for Raffy, Toni, Angel and Oleksandra!

What are some of your best practices when it comes to encouraging people to volunteer and how can similar organizations maintain this tribe of volunteers so that there’s continuity in the movement?

How do you use tech in order to make sure to keep your movement alive and to sustain the action? Do you also leverage AI?

How do you create spaces where people feel safe to participate without fear of judgment or reprisal?

Continuity is hampered by lack of funding. How do you ensure the grants or donations you receive are spent on things that matter?

howbdo you manage the balance between having a paid professional staff and volunteerism if you are a civil society org?!

How do you make the enemy an ally? How to make conservatives support couples that are not straight.

Sorry placed my question in the wrong chat. What keeps you going personally? Esp when you are so exhausted, burnout, and about to quit? What are your personal practices? Saan kayo naghuhugot ng lakas kung walang wala na halos? Nakmbag nga malem apo! Muchas gracias! 🙏

For Toni-Gee of MUJER - LGBT -- You mentioned earlier about facing backlash . Can you share a story of how you worked with that backlash --what you tried, wi the whom, what you learned --- in a way that led to more inclusion or broader collaboration, maybe even bringing new allies in. Thank you.

to raffy - How do we communicate that we're facilitators and partners, not problem-solvers or saviors?

Working with movements on other issues can make our work stronger. Is there a specific experience you can share where you joined forces with a movement working on a different issue? What did that look like in practice?

Toni Gee! We’re rooting for you! I was in Zamboanga fairly recently and you have a beautiful province and city especially your lovely people! Just keep your eyes on the prize because you are doing the right things. Hindi kayo nagiisa! Our prayers, time and energy are with you! We can help train volunteers on unconscious bias translated to Chavacano with help of AI! 🙏🥰💖🌷

Good day! Just want to ask about the progress regarding Rappler's internship/volunteer cuz I haven’t received any updates since submitting the requirements, so I’m reaching out to check if there are any progress or next steps I should be aware of. Thank you!
