This document discusses civic participation and activism. It suggests that if we want civic participation that is meaningful, impactful and scalable, we should: 1) Move beyond viewing politics and activism as separate, and instead focus on empowering individual agency. 2) Understand the different levers for change, like legislation, authority and public opinion, as well as developing new tactics. 3) Deepen people's foundations of understanding on issues while also increasing their engagement through actions like petitions, protests, and social media. 4) Recognize that thick, impactful civic participation at a large scale requires distributing control and leadership broadly throughout communities.
