"It is our responsibility to commit to the individual practice and do our work, but understand that you will make mistakes. You will create unintended consequences, but that will create the potential for something beautiful, impactful, and significant." - Marcus, @GEOfunders.

"Collective action allows us to mitigate polarization of class. We need to think about how we are creating spaces with multiple expertise and cross class relationships. It may be simple to define, but is not simple in practice." -@nsudha #WeGiveSummit @GEOfunders @phil_together.

"Collective action gives us a chance to practice democracy as a daily experience. We have to be willing to step outside our consumerist and individualistic approach. Let's drop it back down to being in that transformational space, rather than transactional"-@nsudha #WeGiveSummit.

"When collective action is actually happening, it's not just the sum of the parts - it's the ability to see the whole ecosystem and see something that is bigger than any one component of the ecosystem." - @nsudha #WeGiveSummit #DemystifyCollectiveAction.

"Let's DEMYSTIFY what collective-action means. For me, it's very simple - it is recognizing the problems we are facing right now are bigger than any one individual, so our solutions need to be bigger than any 1 individual. It is that simple." - Marcus, @GEOfunders #WeGiveSummit.
