"We spend a lot of time feeling helpless, like we’re watching the world happen
rather than actively shaping it. A not-small reason for that: the modern media
environment, which both encourages passivity—it’s easier to scroll from home
than get our butts in gear—and rarely focuses on regular people.
Turns out, your average Joe is far more involved, and more effective, than the
media would have us believe.
Over the past six months, I’ve collected
citizens’ army stories—not “army” in
the military sense, but in which ordinary citizens, acting together, move the
world forward. Obviously, there are countless more, so please share your
favorites in the comments."
Share and enjoy,
