First of all, belated congratulations! Your point is really important–truly, even though I’m a policy person, it’s very possible to do policy work without really effecting the kind of big-scale social change of DCCK; we should care a lot more about impact and less about the medium of the change, or the label we attach to it. You are teaching a lot of people that, and changing a lot of minds. I hope some of the folks with ‘influence’ are paying attention!

Great photo! It was a total thrill to meet you, and I’m so glad that you came to Kansas. Our time with you has sparked a lot of thinking and shifting here, in very exciting ways. You’ll definitely see some of us in D.C. on our next trip there, but, in the meantime, I’m glad that there’s a virtual space to be connected to your ideas. Thank you for challenges, and inspirations!
