“Being pragmatic is not surrender. Being pragmatic is not cynicism. Being pragmatic is not selling out. In truth, being pragmatic is often the only real path to progress in an uncertain, complicated world.”
― The Capitalist and the Activist: Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change
― The Capitalist and the Activist: Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change
“The history of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and its aftermath tells a story of both tragedy and resilience in the long struggle for racial justice in America. The facts of Tulsa are not unique in America’s past or present on matters of race. The false accusation, the lack of real due process, the racially motivated brutality, the institutional suppression, and the absence of meaningful government acknowledgment and action are tragically all too common. But so too are the resilience and the strength of the people: to struggle, to survive, and to thrive in the face of overwhelming odds.”

“Being pragmatic often means being both urgent and patient, and open to accepting compromises and less-than-full measures in order to take forward steps that make larger shifts possible.”
― The Capitalist and the Activist: Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change
― The Capitalist and the Activist: Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change
“We are a tribal species. Unlike young schoolchildren, we prefer division to addition. We divide ourselves into groups of our own justification, sensible or not. Hunters or gatherers. Settlers or nomads. Men or women. Cis or trans. Natives or immigrants. Citizens or noncitizens. Black or White. Rich or poor. Gay or straight. Believers or nonbelievers. Extroverts or introverts. Rural or urban. Nationalists or globalists. Republican or Democrat. Conservative or progressive.”

“We prefer our tribes to the others. We believe in the superiority of our tribe, and we push back against those who threaten our group. Our tribes give us a sense of belonging, cooperation, purpose, comfort, and support. We nurture our tribes with myths and morals, facts and fictions, to bind ourselves to one another.”
― The Capitalist and the Activist: Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change

“We nurture our tribes with myths and morals, facts and fictions, to bind ourselves to one another. Yet these ties that bind us can also blind us. They can blind us to our limited imagination, to our prejudices, to our similarities, to our shared humanity, to our common hopes, and to our greater good.”
― The Capitalist and the Activist: Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change
― The Capitalist and the Activist: Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change
“Recognizing the significant good that capitalists can bring about for society does not blind us to the serious harms that they can sometimes create or perpetuate in society.”
― The Capitalist and the Activist: Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change
― The Capitalist and the Activist: Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change
“Recognizing the transformative power wielded by activists does not deny the obstacles that they can sometimes present for policymaking.”
