How Does Change Happen?

For most of his life Jason Angell was a political activist, believing the story that social transformation comes through radical legislation pushed along by brave elected leaders. He saw himself as one of those leaders giving a speech to a massive group of people in the National Mall in Washington DC; and came from a family background, where his father had run unsuccessfully for Congress in 1972, in the same community where Jason now runs a farm. As he tells it, "Cracks began to appear in the first story I had told myself about how change is accomplished." Read about the three shattering experiences that ultimately led him to a deeper understanding of the path to social transformation.
