The job can be pretty demanding at times, some of the busy weeks can be 50+ hours.
It can also be just overall tough and emotionally draining at times, you hear a lot of tough stories from community members about the injustices they face, and while we do get tangible wins on the issues, the change we're looking for can take a long time and there's often a LOT of resistance from those in power. Being able to find ways to process that outside of work has been really important for me.
There's a lot of things in this job that happen that are completely outside of your control, which can be frustrating and a challenge to figure out how to shift plans around to deal with
