She joined Power Shift Network in 2016 as Operations Director and has been supporting the organization in exploring better distribution of leadership energy for long term sustainability ever since.She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:The reflection time during the pandemic supporting being more “thoughtful and intentional in our activism”The legacy of Black feminists in identifying language and providing analysis of the intersectionalities in systems causing harmThe growing collective consciousness in activism and the “willingness not to leave anybody behind in the work that we're doing”That “young folks have always been at the forefront of social movements”, understanding that they’ll live the longest in whatever reality we build, while also having had “less time to be indoctrinated”The benefits of policies that have impacts across different issue areas, such as the Green New DealThe power-building of mutual aid, through developing relationships and local resiliency; reducing “the level of control that the normative economy has over our lives”.Connect with Dany SigwaltWebsite: powershift.org Facebook: facebook.com/powershiftnetworkTwitter: twitter.com/powershiftnetTwitter: twitter.com/danysiggyInstagram: instagram.com/power_shift Instagram: instagram.com/danysiggy Follow WCPGR on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhatCouldPossiblyGoRightPodcast​Twitter: https://twitter.com/buildresilience​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buildresilienceLearn more: https://bit.ly/wcpgr-resSupport the show (https://www.resilience.org/what-could-possibly-go-right-podcast-vicki-robin/supportthepodcast/)
