Stanford Social Innovation Review’s Post

❤️🔥 Hearing directly about this ‘Revolution of the Soul’ at last week’s PolicyLink conference was inspiring. ICYMI, this article in the Stanford Social Innovation Review by Dr. Michael McAfee & Ashleigh Gardere is a transparent and thoughtful description of the organizational journey they went through to get to this strategy. Definitely worth your time to read in full: “To take seriously [the] warning against the atrophy of our institutions and leadership, we must pause and reflect on our own actions with humility and loving accountability. Which of our habits have outlived their usefulness? What practices are stuck in outdated paradigms? Where have we idealized solutions and romanticized ideas that would be better served by concrete action? Where has the power of our movement been siphoned away into symbolic battles, semantic debates, and cosmetic adjustments in the face of oppressive systems? …. “To renew ourselves and the nation, we must occupy the highest ground, spiritually and politically, and fortify ourselves to be ready to advance change. We have to envision and build a shared future so expansive and uncompromising that it becomes irresistible. We must operate with indomitable love, attending to both the soul work and practical revolutionary thinking that the future demands.” 🔗 in comments
