Hi ZORA fam. We know a lot of y’all are staying up all night watching election updates roll in. For today’s moment of zen, we want to remind you to take a nap so you have the strength for what’s ahead.

“If movements take stamina then there is no way for us to continue on the long arc toward justice if we do not make time to rest and recharge,” writes Danielle Moodie for ZORA. “If we do not learn to rest, we will never be able to sustain the strength to resist. There is no way we make it to the mountaintop without rest and self-care.”

Take a break from election coverage, log off, and get some sleep, fam.
