"Trauma work is part of resistance. A lot of people drop out, disappear, stop being active, feel excluded because of their fear or because they are suffering from post traumatic stress disorders (PTSD). Even after obvious incidents like the Diaz school in Genoa, there was no emotional support set up for the victims. A lot them suffered more from the emotional consequences than the physical injuries.

If we want to be effective as a movement, and create sustainable activism, we need to be able to support each other. If we know we will be supported afterwards and we are aware of what can happen to us emotionally in consequence to police brutality, we will be able to feel more secure and prepared in our actions."
