Reimagined systems will honour the dignity of all, including small-scale fisheries and the oceans. Thrilled to launch this new program with @AcumenAcademy and @EnvDefenseFund – at Toronto, Ontario
There’s no better time than #IYAFA2022 to cultivate more resilient, inclusive, equitable and just small-scale #fisheries.
Learn about our new Leadership Accelerator with @AcumenAcademy in our latest EDFish blog with guest co-author @BavidraMohan.

As a Singaporean, it made me proud to see Singapore take a stand against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
@BurhanGafoor got our point across with eloquence and authority. He even got a hug from his Ukrainian counterpart.

India is my second home and I couldn't just sit and wait in pain. Happy that I could find in the @Acumen community the perfect mates to act quickly during the pandemic #trust #community @OpenValueFound @itwillbeorg @ComGo_io
As cases peaked in India, Fellows across Spain and India collaborated on relief efforts. Tapping into her blockchain platform, Spain Fellow Arancha Martinez helped send funds to India in just 8 days — a process that normally takes 2-3 months. 💸

So from today, make a conscious effort to allow for the growth of members of your team. Teach kindly. Correct calmy. Guide humanely. It is for your own ultimate good.

I’m so proud of the work our team at @AcumenAcademy is doing to spread moral imagination & show others what we can achieve when we give more to the world than we take from it. Join our Build conference and learn the tools necessary to reimagine our future. It will take all of us.
“When we bring groups like this together, our hope is that people leave with a sense that they are part of something bigger, they are part of a broader community, all of whom are on the path with you on this journey.”
Let's get building together🚀

"The rise of unbridled capitalism and the acceleration of technology put the individual and profit at the center of all of our systems. Where the moral leadership piece comes in is that in an interdependent world, that no longer works." Jacqueline Novogratz @Acumen @jnovogratz1

My only quote on leadership. @Acumen taught and gave me so much! Looking back what I love most was they were supportive of my weirdness and didn’t throw me out of the fellowship. Trusting and supporting people early can mean everything to someone.
The world needs social innovators with the moral imagination to rethink self & systems. Reimagine with #AcumenFellows like @waqasali, co-founder of @WearAtoms, who is inspiring communities across #Pakistan & beyond.
Applications open March 26. Learn more: bit.ly/3kZUdtD
