Survey: Top 3 solutions the grassroots should push to solve the crisis in Congo?
Some of my recent posts on conflict minerals have sparked some lively, substantive debate on the best solutions for Congo. Brilliant! Let’s continute the discussion on key solutions for Congo.
Several months ago, I had the great pleasure of meeting with the brilliant Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold’s Ghost and Bury the Chains, and expert on building social movements. He explained that every successful social movement has no more than 3 or 4 key “asks”/ levers to address the issue. Think “Ban Apartheid” or “Abolish Slavery”.
I have some solid ideas, but no easy answers. So I ask you- I’d love your thoughts: What are the top 3 actionable “asks” or levers the grassroots should push for to solve the crisis in Congo?
Anyone? Anyone?
I’ll post my thoughts after others have a chance to share!
