When Davids band together against Goliath
How and why would a local struggle, with a few people who maybe didn’t know each other before and come from different walks of life, win against giant corporations? What are potential common topics, issues, ways of organizing, what can we learn from them to feed a “acting local, but thinking global” powerful movement? A movement anchored enough to withstand headwinds, flexible enough to adapt to the diversity of issues and people, and ambitious enough to ultimately aim at nothing short of changing the world? Anchored, complex, real, these struggles have much to teach us.
