How do I practice nonviolent resistance when I'm angry at injustice?

Anger at injustice isn't the problem—it's often a sign you're awake to something real. Sor Juana knew this. She wrote with precision and heat about what was wrong, but she didn't let rage become her method. Here's what works: First, name what you're angry about specifically. Not "the system is broken" but "this policy affects people like this." Second, sit with the anger long enough to ask what you actually want to change, not just what you want to condemn. That's your north star. Third, find people—even one person—who shares that goal. Nonviolence isn't passivity or suppressing anger; it's channeling it into something that builds rather than destroys. Sor Juana defended her right to think and write fiercely, but she did it through words, through logic, through making her oppressors reckon with her intelligence. That took more courage than rage. When you feel that heat, pause and ask: What do I want to create? Then move toward that with all your conviction, but with a strategy that lets others change their minds.
