From What Is to What If

Given the state of the world, the message of despair is pretty convincing. Things look grim. But something about that doesn’t sit quite right with me. In fact, there’s evidence that things can change, and that cultures can change, rapidly and unexpectedly.

How We Win | Divestment and Nonviolent Direct Action

Journal Article
