When power is concentrated in the hands of the few, and those few don't share resources ...wisely, make decisions that benefit everyone fairly, or create the conditions for people to lead secure lives, it can seem as though this is all that's possible.
But it's not.
With the right support, the many who are working hard to challenge difficult conditions can influence institutions and systems. It's their solutions we want to support and their stories that we want to tell.
