"We are living at an inflection point where the old rules no longer hold. Democratic institutions are unraveling, and our collective attention is shattered by a "brain fog machine" of misinformation, compounded by the advance of authoritarianism. No longer can we assume the guardrails will hold. We must reevaluate how power operates in today's world and fundamentally rethink our strategies and relationships to contend for a future worth fighting for."
"How the work is done-the process of learning, growing, and caring for ourselves and others while building new structures-is just as important as the desired transformation itself. Throughout this series, we have explored what Leadership Learning Community has learned on liberatory leadership, defining the practice as we take responsibility for collectively transforming our freedom dreams into reality.
