Hope as a Discipline: Kelly Hayes on Activism and Resilience最佳语录
Hope is not a disposition; it is a discipline that you have to engage in every single day. It is an active practice with dirty and calloused hands, generated through action even when the world feels like it is dreaming of ending.

In the podcast Hope as a Discipline, Kelly Hayes explores the idea that hope is not just a feeling but a moral and political commitment. For activists and organizers, this discipline involves navigating the sensation of falling into a void caused by global crises and smash-and-grab politics. By treating hope as a practice, freedom fighters can continue their work even when the future feels uncertain or sold for parts.
Kelly Hayes addresses the common activist experience of feeling like one is plummeting into a pitch-black abyss due to wildfires and political instability. She suggests that the remedy for this burnout is recognizing that you are not falling alone. By connecting with a community of co-strugglers, healers, and organizers, individuals can find the support needed to navigate the heartbreaks and messiness inherent in trying to change the world.
According to Kelly Hayes, co-strugglers are essential because social movements are naturally messy. She shares a 'bundle of letters' from these activists and freedom fighters to provide guidance for those in the trenches of community organizing. These collective insights serve as a reminder that while the world may feel like a dumpster fire, the shared commitment of a group helps sustain the resilience required for long-term social change.
