Because those BIG changes that we need to make no longer seem impossible on the scale of 100 years. Which is to say, we don't need to do everything all at once, we just need to start doing things and make reasonably steady progress."

Impact is the ultimate outcome for any social change initiative yet it’s also the most elusive and poorly defined of our evaluation metrics in practice. How do we change this? In this first post in a series, I bring us into the world of understanding impact. Non-profits are in the business of making a positive difference in spaces that are ignored or neglected by other institutions society.…

If these systems keep taking them down
