We as Nature have a say

The people, with critical mass, are the movers of history.
Mamdani's agenda will be successful if the people fully buy in and remove the obstacles.

A society that excludes 99% of its population from innovation is a society starving itself of potential. Under oligarchy, a system that emphasizes growth over wellness produces leaders who govern with such prejudice. Under ecological anarchy, possibility flows freely.
