Advocacy within organizations and society towards equity, inclusion and psychological safety is often considered the 'cool' thing to focus on, or a box to check off, among other misnomers. In reality, all EDIA (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Anti-Oppression) practitioners & leaders, however senior within their organizations, experience high levels of burnout, fatigue and disillusionment on their journey. Some might have to step away from the work completely. Why is that? Because an advocate's role involves constantly meeting with resistance, defensiveness, scarcity and protections of old systems that center the needs of a select few. It is not enough to create roles within organizations for heads of EDIA, without shifting how we engage with, and prioritize that role. What does the act of repair of burnout and fatigue look like in the long term?
