I strongly believe that to be more effective at making a difference we need to rethink how we do it. This is the argument of my book Conscious Tribes, but for anyone interested in the Crib Notes version - I've written this on Substack! amandatattersall.substack.com/p/thinking-d...

Do changemakers need more courage — or stronger organisations that help people build courage together? The latest ChangeMakers Digest reflects on Hong Kong democracy advocates Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, and what they can teach us about making change. changemakerspodcast.org/what-do-hong...

Changing the leader is the easy bit. Changing the culture is harder. This ChangeMakers Digest with Samuel Chur and @amandatattersall.bsky.social uses the latest UK leadership drama to ask what really shifts when a party, organisation or movement gets someone new at the top.

My new book Conscious Tribes is now available for pre-order. amandatattersall.com/conscious-tr... It launches in August with Hardie Grant. It’s a book about how we make a difference with others — especially at a time when the problems we face can feel too big, too complex and too overwhelming.

We’re launching a new format on the ChangeMakers Channel: ChangeMakers Digest. Amanda Tattersall and Samuel Chu take an issue in the news — or something that has grabbed their attention — and try to digest it: reflect on it, connect the dots, and ask what it teaches us about making change.

War captures attention. Displacement doesn’t. Mona Bani’s family fled Iran decades ago. In this episode, she traces how that experience led her to build community-led refugee support in the UK. A sharp story about power, community, and responding to anti-immigrant politics. 👉 shorturl.at/brQQk
