How We Hope- Hope in collective action: What we can learn from Wikipedia, smallpox eradication, and a movie theater strike

The full How We Hope series will debut for Grab Bag Collab Everything GBC+ feed subscribers over at www.grabbagcollab.com

Some of the biggest sources of doom are collective action problems—issues that feel too big for any one person to solve, but that could be turned around if everyone made a change. For our first episode, we investigate examples of successful collective action at different scales. We talk to Seb Diaz about organizing a movie theater strike in Downtown Brooklyn, Nellie Bristol about the eradication of Smallpox, and Kevin Li about the persistent work of Wikipedia contributors. What contributed to their success, and how can they inspire us?
