“Many politicians represent where the public is at, rather than lead the public to where they should go” - @mdobrinskaya's statement summarizes a lot of my questions around how much progress we can expect from policies. #mppgapower

@ewilliamson01 Weeeiiird! How does this happen?

[Julia Gellman @JuliaGellman]

@gill_ashni I think we applied lots of binocular lenses today... excited to chat more about this with you!

[Julia Gellman @JuliaGellman]

The panel in #mppgapower class expressed that policy-makers are often very distant from the community the policies affect. How can bridge that distance, and re-connect to relationship-building?

[Julia Gellman @JuliaGellman]

How many times have you been tested on your #ethnography skills? We actually had to take a quiz in #mppga class to see how much we were listening to our peers' stories. Love it!

If you’re committed to leading the world to change, what is the why behind your why? Learning from Marshall Ganz' #publicnarrative and #storyofself in #mppgapower class!

[Julia Gellman @JuliaGellman]

Learning about #powermapping in #mppgapower class. Of course, ppl who support change are typically on the side of the axis with less power. Because ppl in power support👏the👏status👏quo👏! Anyone have examples of some ppl who have gained power from powerlessness?

Learned the origin of the term #intersectionality and the importance of #sayhername in this TedTalk by @sandylocks. "where there’s no name for a problem, you can’t see a problem, and when you can’t see a problem, you can’t solve it." #mppgapower https://t.co/Wya82yFcwk

When we have access to #privilege and #power to make change, what leads us to step into that power? Is it our commitment to #purpose? #MPPGApower

[Julia Gellman @JuliaGellman]

In class today, @TesiccaT told her stories of civic awakening. Ironic that when @andreareimer asked us to share our stories, I had to credit @TesiccaT and @cityhivevan for contributing a lot to my own civic engagement in #Vancouver! #MPPGApower
