Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

The Rest Manifesto by Tricia Hersey is a powerful call to action for all of us living in a fast-paced, productivity-driven society. As a Black woman and spiritual teacher, Hersey advocates for rest as a form of resistance and a critical tool for healing and justice. She challenges the dominant cultural narrative that equates productivity with worthiness, and reminds us that rest is not a luxury, but a human right. Hersey's manifesto encourages us to reject the capitalist idea that our value is determined by what we produce, and instead prioritize rest as a radical act of self-care and social change. By slowing down and reimagining our relationship to time and work, we can create a more just and equitable world for all.
