Community Progress

“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community. Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.” – Cesar Chavez

How can you widen your aspirations to include your community?

Money

It is right to have an uneasy relationship with money, given its outsized power in our lives under capitalism, and yet money can be used to foster equity and build access as well.

How have you used money to foster equity?

Attention

Our full presence with another requires some measure of attention. What that is like may be different for people with different brains and ways of being in the world.

How do you cultivate attention and stay present to another?

Wisdom

Wisdom is not an automatic product of knowledge and time–it requires passing our knowledge through our capability to reflect and connect.

How have you gained wisdom, and how has your wisdom been used to further the goal of equity?
