I sure hear you, Ken. Grateful for your many years of working in Rainier Beach in WA. Wise voices are calling us to focus on the community level to create "islands of sanity" and catalyze the "beloved community." We also need to be part of networks of care
and be social and ecological activists at state, national, and international levels.</div>

Great. Let me know how that goes. With all due respect to Rob, I've grown impatient with the at least 20+ years of aspirational hope under the network of networks and movement of movement banners. I've been looking into the Cynefin framework (see: https://thecynefin.co/)
and particularly the EU fieldbook developed in collaboration with Cynefin on managing complexity (and chaos) in times of crisis (https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/712438d0-8c55-11eb-b85c-01aa75ed71a1https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/712438d0-8c55-11eb-b85c-01aa75ed71a1).
The one thing I have learned is that the key breakthroughs emerge from the margins, the gaps. the neglected corners and not the usual suspects.

<div>OK, I'm not able to fully participate right now, but take a look at the Constellation Model for Governance, a Canadian innovation that captured the imagination of the neighborhood coalition I worked for over about 15 years although we did not quite push
it through. It does provide one potential framework for mobilizing diverse networks of services and organizations across diffferent levels. Maybe still worth a look:
