PROFESSOR REVEALS How To Heal Your Mind & OVERCOME TRAUMA | Deborah Tuerkheimer & Lewis Howes

Legislative Process

Understanding the legislative process is crucial for effective activism. Lewis Howes explains that simply calling your member of Congress is often ineffective. Instead, knowing the rules and steps, such as getting a bill assigned to a committee and convincing busy members of Congress, is essential for success 1 2.

   

Sustainable Activism

Sustaining activism requires more than just anger; it needs hope and structured efforts. Lewis Howes differentiates between activism and organizing, emphasizing that while anger can fuel movements, it cannot sustain them 3. Deborah Tuerkheimer adds that channeling anger towards meaningful change is crucial for long-term impact 4.

   

Empowering Change Makers

Empowering new activists involves providing them with the tools and support they need.

This approach, termed 'hopeonomics,' has successfully passed 21 laws, impacting millions 6.

   

Activism and ROI
