“Build Authentic Bonds. Prioritize relationship building, not networking. It's about whom you can call to show up when there's something important going on. Shared values and genuine friendships create stronger alliances and a more fulfilling life, and in our increasingly lonely society, the act of friendship could arguably be considered political. We promise, it's worth tolerating the group chat notifications. Relationships are also a key to effective lobbying, as our entire civic infrastructure (government, courts, etc.) is made up of people. If you care about speed bumps in your town, get to know the mayor's staffer who covers road issues. Building and leveraging connections is one of the most underrated tools we have.”
