Belief Statement.

We believe rest is a vital part of freeing ourselves and building a more just and fair society where Black bodies can thrive openly. We understand that we have to rest twice as hard as our peers to get half the healing.

Our Vision.

We imagine a world where Rest is free, supported by our policies, and napping doesn't induce feelings of guilt. We are abolitionists who aim to bend reality into a future that centers resting Black bodies. Where charging stations for our humanity are just as commonly available as the charging stations for smart cars and phones.

"I don't mention SELF-CARE one time in the book. I did that intentionally.

I want to uplift COMMUNITY CARE. We're not going to survive without each other. This REST work has to be done in COMMUNITY with each other. It's the way LIBERATION work has always been done.”
