"I believe that profound social change only occurs when a process of awareness-raising, organization, and collective action is complete. Changing the world requires a clear purpose of cultural and ethical change, social commitment, and organized work. This is my primary commitment: to contribute to the culmination of these processes," shares Pablo Benítez, one of our new Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity.

We are excited to share the next case study from our Academic-Practitioner Collaborations (AcPrac) project, written by Mauro Fernández.

The paper uses the Cromañón Movement as a case study to explore the interrelationships between academia and the movement of people affected by the disaster at the República Cromañón concert venue in Argentina in 2004.

"In Somalia, the impact of social exclusion remains hidden, particularly in rural areas where poor people continue to face structural inequality. We need to do so much more to prevent inequality." - Mohamed Ali Taruri, one of our new Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity.

"What inspires me as a changemaker is the belief that creating equitable opportunities for all, especially for those facing the greatest inequalities, helps build a shared future that benefits everyone. In pursuing that future, I am motivated to ensure that marginalised communities are seen not just as beneficiaries of support, but as essential partners in shaping the solutions that create meaningful and lasting change," shares Manisha Wijesignhe, one of our new Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity.

"It is overwhelmingly clear that the current economic system does not deliver for people or planet. By design, wealth trickles up as the planet burns. And yet, despite the odds, people constantly resist. There is power (and hope) in that resistance, in the collective organisation necessary for a more just world, and in showing that there is always an alternative," says Liam Kennedy, one of our new Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity.

"I’m inspired by people who keep showing up, especially young people navigating huge uncertainty and injustice, but still choosing to organise and push for structural change. Many of the most powerful moments I’ve seen start small: someone realises they are not alone, speaks out publicly, or takes a first step into leadership. Those moments of bravery can grow into something much bigger, as people move from carrying an individual burden to recognising a collective struggle. That’s what keeps me hopeful." - Josh Creaser, one of our new Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity

"Through radio and civic engagement programmes, I have watched people move from silence and frustration to questioning authority, demanding accountability, and participating in governance. Those moments remind me that sustainable change begins when people believe their voices matter and can influence systems around them," shares George Onuorah, one of our new Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity.

"When I have seen change happen, it has always included commitment from individuals, collaboration, and an openness to innovation. This has taught me that it is important to persevere and not be afraid of testing new approaches to make things happen," shares Jazmin Burgess, one of our new Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity.

"Seeing how thoughtful collaboration, ethical leadership, and data‑driven decision‑making can expand access to rights and dignity sustains my commitment to change. I am motivated by the belief that equitable systems are built through persistence, solidarity, and listening carefully to those most affected by inequality," says George Badurashvili, one of our new Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity
