Pessimism Is Not Prophecy: On Declining Invitations to Surrender
"My own experience has taught me that we often cannot know, at the outset, what our work will make possible. I have been part of fights I did not expect to win, and I have seen them matter in ways I could not have predicted. [...] Some struggles do not succeed in the way we imagine, or on the timeline we want, but they still alter what people believe is possible, who they trust, what they know how to do, and what they are willing to try next."
