Collective outrage from shared clear truths is a catalytic transformative force

Evidence

The collective that has authored the book in your hands thinks of itself as exactly the seed of such an alliance of resisters. Working together since 2019 (officially), but tracing roots back more than a decade before that, the Friends of Attention are committed to building a movement grounded in calling out the untenability and injustice of our current condition. That means a movement driven by a deep and old faith: Important truths, seen clearly and shared, possess catalytic power; as people see and understand urgent things together, nothing can reverse the transformative force of collective outrage. — The Friends of Attention, Attensity!, 221
