Powerarchy: Understanding the Psychology of Oppression for Social Transformation Quotes

“If we want people to respond to requests (or even demands) for positive change, we must make such requests in a way that honors the dignity of those being challenged while nevertheless raising awareness of the problems they've caused and holding them accountable for those problems.

[Powerarchy, p.39]”
