636. Making a Movement: Empowering Action - Jon and Becky

We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits

We’ve reached the final chapter of our Making a Movement series, and we’re leaning all in on what it truly means to empower action. 

This episode is a celebration of the heartbeat behind every movement: community. You’ll hear the inspiring story of Hannah Lowe, a fearless mom on a mission who rallied her village to raise $2 million for her son’s life-changing treatment. It’s a powerful reminder that when a call to action is clear and authentic, it has the power to ignite a movement.

We’re also featuring insights from previous episodes with Celeste Flores, who pulls back the curtain on the global generosity of Giving Tuesday and the community-powered magic that drives it. Plus, Amanda Liaw shares why going deep, not just broad, is the key to building engagement that lasts. Together, we’ll explore how to make participation joyful, how to sustain momentum, and why prioritizing your own well-being is essential for staying in the work.

If you’re ready to activate your community and believe in the ripple effect of good, this conversation is for you. Let’s keep building this movement together.
