"Our communities need resilient and compassionate leaders.
The challenges are many: poverty, climate change, political discord, discrimination, injustice. The list goes on. Any one of us might say, 'How can I eliminate poverty? How can I halt climate change? How can I stop racism?' The answer is… you can’t… but together, we can."
