The Call to Action That Cannot Be Ignored
That beautiful July morning in Santa Monica changed everything. Walking into my Global Green office, I had no idea a video message from a college friend would transform my life's direction. On my screen was Eric Garner, gasping "I can't breathe" as police officers choked him to death. Within weeks, I abandoned my stable career without a backup plan to fight police brutality and systemic racism full-time. It wasn't a calculated decision - it was a moral imperative I could no longer ignore. What makes this journey worth sharing isn't just passion but strategy. While many feel overwhelmed by America's ongoing struggles with racial injustice, climate crisis, and economic inequality, the most common question remains: "What can I actually do that matters?" The answer lies not in performative outrage or passive concern, but in understanding how change truly happens - through ordinary people making extraordinary commitments to solving specific problems. We've been taught a dangerously misleading story about human progress - that history moves steadily upward, from barbarism to civilization, from injustice to justice. This "Instagramification" of history jumps from highlight to highlight, obscuring the messy reality of how societies actually evolve. When historian Leopold von Ranke created the first exhaustive timeline of world history, he discovered something shocking: human history resembled the jagged Himalayas - sharp peaks of progress followed by devastating valleys of regression. We're currently experiencing what I call "the dip" - a period of regression following significant progress. The election of America's first Black president threatened established power structures, and the backlash was predictable to anyone familiar with historical patterns. Understanding this cycle doesn't mean accepting it - it means recognizing that our current struggles aren't anomalies but part of an ongoing battle between progress and regression.
