The Activist Wellbeing Cookbook

Created by activist-healers supporting social justice defenders (among which Aluna) from 14 Global Majority Countries, The Activist Wellbeing Cookbook by the Defenders Wellbeing Collective is a collection of radical writings, poems, recipes for care and resistance (and, of course, deliciious, diverse cultural food recipes). From one revolution after another, across collective memory, people involved in resistance and struggles for social justice and human rights have been caring for each other in so many beautiful ways. Many of these practices may not have been documented or may have been systematically erased by oppressive or authoritarian regimes; yet, some continue to remember and embody them to this day. This cookbook is a way of remembering.

Its aim is disrupting priviledge and hegemonic knowledge sources on wellbeing by featuring writing from activists at forefront of liberation struggles and movements.
