Attention Activism operates through study, coalition-building, and sanctuaries.
Evidence
Attention Activism is rooted in STUDY—a commitment to diverse forms of teaching and learning centered on attention (what it is, what it can be, what it can do). Attention Activism also requires COALITION-BUILDING—collaboration and solidarity across a range of communities who see attention’s essential role in human flourishing. Finally, Attention Activism means the formation of SANCTUARIES—spaces where people can gather, care for each other, experiment with different kinds of attention, and conceive brighter futures. — The Friends of Attention, Attensity!, 35
