We've organized ourselves as cultures, to a large degree, around what we agree we know. And when you have multiple ways of knowing, multiple ways of organizing, the society loses one of its deepest organizational principles.

Organizing gives workers the power to lift themselves out of poverty and build a better future.

The trouble with organizing a thing is that pretty soon folks get to paying more attention to the organization than to what they're organized for.

You have to be able to communicate the vision to the people in your organization so that they know where and how they should direct themselves on a day-to-day basis.

Success is knowing that your contribution is what helps the collective.

Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.

Building up an organisation is like starting a social movement. At the center of everything is the core team. I have the honor of working with some phenomenal people at Purpose who are at the top of their fields. That energy and common purpose among the team is what inspires me and where the magic happens.

The organization is a way for people to find us and deal with us and know how we operate.
