The work we're doing internationally got started when I was doing a presentation on our work on fracking or childhood health. The question is, how can we get those networks a little bit of life breathed into them ahead of time so that there's more scaling and not just a sudden organization at the last moment? Yeah. We can be intentional about it. There's, you know, network building is a skill. It is a repeatable, as we've shown, process. You focus on the right things and you create network capacity. That's it. Like we've been able to repeat that again and again. Instead of internet, we're using radio and community information centers instead of campaign contest
On this episode, Nate is joined by Marty Kearns, a civic organizer and networking specialist. He and Marty discuss why both networks and communities will be critical to the coming challenges we face. How will the social ties we form now influence the outcome of power, peace and new social organization? How can we organize ourselves in order to best meet the future that is coming?
