The same is true of hope. Hope is manifested when a community rallies to demand the best for itself and of itself. Hope is building power in a way where everyone has the opportunity to step up as citizens. Hope is in the many paths we make and create for the greater good and show up to answer innovation's greatest promise: building a better world together. This book is the product of hope.
