Talking about kindness and generosity can lead to more of it. So, why do we hesitate to share? 🤔 #GivingTuesday

Philanthropy didn’t understand what it was trying to fix shiftthepower.org/2025/04/02/p... They mistook what was unfamiliar for something broken... they encountered something mess and unpredictable, they assumed managing it was the same as improving it. So they built bureaucracies. #ShiftThePower

Philanthropy didn’t understand what it was trying to fix
Here’s what I’ve observed: the things we try to reform are rarely the ones that matter most. Reform tends to fixate on what can be measured, managed, and credited—where reformers still believe control is within reach—while quietly avoiding what they don’t understand, where control is harder to find.

I really like the nuanced analysis of how activism presents itself in Russia where generally political action is banned: “processes of dispersed, nomadic activism”

This is powerful. “It turns out that the common assumption to dismiss small acts, incremental thinking, and prefigurative desires is self-fulfilling. If we don’t believe in even small politics and changes, then there will be no change.”

The most effective, durable types of power are usually shared via relationships rather than hoarded to ever-smaller groups of individuals. #GivingTuesday
