No fundamental social change occurs merely because government acts. It's because civil society, the conscience of a country, begins to rise up and demand - demand - demand change.
When people align around shared political, social, economic or environmental values, and take collective action, thinking and behavior that compromises the lives of millions of people around the world can truly change.
Where there is a sufficient social movement of self-reliant communities, there can be political change. There must be political change.
The only thing that makes change possible is the idea of developing some kind of institution, because the institutions will survive individuals.
I believe that social change has almost reached critical mass. So many people have undergone personal transformation that their effect on society is having a geometric - not arithmetic - impact.

I was always interested in social change but never actually did anything about it.
You have to believe that it's through politics that societies can lead social and economic and political change.

Social change comes through people.
