Things I have learned from Dan Leahy

  • Keep in touch with people.
  • If you don’t write your own story, someone else will write it for you.
  • Make sure you know what you are saying (particularly if you are protesting in another language).
  • Take time to do the research—and find a way to put your analysis into a chart.
  • Marches are powerful.
  • Do the work.
  • Don’t underestimate your ability to affect the world.
  • The most meaningful work is fed by a deep well of love.
