Finding Balance: Harnessing the Energy of Polarity for Selfcare

 Polarity speak of two opposites and that there is great breadth and depth of options between the two. Some of the polarities of self-care are actions vs inaction and care vs neglect. 
Polarity asks us to be aware of the opposite and find our balance between. Imperfect action is a way to navigate our all or nothing thinking or to make small efforts towards our values, intentions and goals.

Charity Episode: The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI)

The Equal Justice Initiative website

Charity Navigator rating https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/631135091
Our charity today is : The Equal Justice Initiative (also known as EJI)
According to their website:
"The Equal Justice Initiative is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.
EJI provides legal representation to people who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or abused in state jails and prisons.
They challenge the death penalty and excessive punishment and they provide re-entry assistance to formerly incarcerated people.
EJI produces groundbreaking reports, an award-winning calendar, and short films that explore our nation's history of racial injustice.
EJI developed and operates the Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice
as part of their national effort to create new spaces, markers, and memorials that address the legacy of slavery, lynching, and racial segregation, which shapes many issues today.
Their work includes: Criminal Justice Reform, Racial Justice, Anti-Poverty Resources, and Public Education.
The opposite of poverty is not wealth. The opposite of poverty is justice.
The United States incarcerates its citizens more than any other country.
Mass incarceration disproportionately impacts the poor and people of color and does not make us safer.
EJI is working to end our misguided reliance on over-incarceration. We are haunted by our history of racial injustice in America because we don't talk about it.
Ending mass incarceration and achieving equality, justice, and fairness for all Americans starts with learning and sharing the truth about our past. We must truthfully confront our history of racial injustice before we can repair its painful legacy."
