A personal note

As difficult as 2020 was, it was the year that I can say I truly found my tribe. Before 2020, I didn't know that what I was doing for years could be considered systems thinking or information architecture, I didn't know what "sense-making" or gameB was, and I had no idea I'd learn about cooperative business models and help start a mutual aid group. These bits of knowledge and opportunities came to me because I spent HOURS going down the youtube rabbit hole, joining hundreds of facebook groups, and eventually weaving my way through networks until I found the ones I was truly aligned with. Catalist is an organization dedicated to not only sharing what I've learned as a digital guide for those seeking their path to action, but also to build tools to enable crowd-sourced sharing of knowledge, opportunities and resources. We hope that seeing the big picture can help catalyze you into action.
