Mariana Mazzucato is unique. She is a driving force behind re-envisioning economics from a human perspective AND she understands the critical role of framing, of communicating and persuasion, in making societal change actually happen. Everything she writes is a "must-read." I can't wait to see what this Substack brings us!
My whole life, I have advocated for the building of real-world political power among the grassroots. These extraordinary activists are actually achieving it! They are bringing us together to create a larger community capable of even greater impact. The Grassroots Connector is the way to plug in to that community, to stay informed, activated and inspired!
J. P. Hill rights beautifully about hope and a vision for a better tomorrow. In a sea of warnings of doom, this is the food for the soul we need. Not positive blither, but a kind of realistic Camus-like "our struggle to serve each other gives life joy and meaning." As I work in my newsletter, Reframing America, to get people to understand that the world we talk about is the world we create, J. P. Hill is an invaluable ally. Thank you for what you do!
Chop Wood, Carry Water is my favorite way to filter the firehose of information: a one stop shop of all the actions being organized by our community, plus the news you need to know without the disaster-mongering! Thank you, Jessica, for the enormous amount of work that goes into this gem of public service!
Micah Sifry understands that community building, especially through face-to-face interaction, is essential to increasing bottom-up political capacity on the Left (as well as to the function of society as a whole!) The Connector is the place to stay plugged in to that mission!
