Fast Forward to 2025, Fanm Saj’s Healing Activations: A Report on Community Care Before and After the 2024 Elections

In the lead-up to and following the 2024 elections, Fanm Saj organized a series of community-centered healing activations aimed at supporting individuals through the anxiety, uncertainty, and stress that often accompany politically charged times. The initiative, titled Healers Call to Action, provided space for attendees to process their emotions, engage in restorative practices, and foster collective care.

​

Over the course of this series, Fanm Saj hosted 13 diverse events in collaboration with various community organizers and healers. These events were designed to address different aspects of mental and emotional wellness, with formats ranging from virtual circles and workshops to in-person gatherings. The events also served as a platform for raising questions about how we can show up for ourselves and our communities—because no matter what happens during this election season, we got us!
