I'm very grateful that the Melbourne Launch of Conscious Tribes will feature a conversation with Saffron Zomer from the Australian Democracy Network. Come along to the State Library on 7 October. Tickets are free but essential: www.readings.com.au/events/amand...

I strongly believe that to be more effective at making a difference we need to rethink how we do it. This is the argument of my book Conscious Tribes, but for anyone interested in the Crib Notes version - I've written this on Substack! amandatattersall.substack.com/p/thinking-d...

Do changemakers need more courage — or stronger organisations that help people build courage together? The latest ChangeMakers Digest reflects on Hong Kong democracy advocates Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, and what they can teach us about making change. changemakerspodcast.org/what-do-hong...

Got to chat with @kurtiveson.bsky.social on ABC Life Matters today. Our book People Power in Cities calls for diverse people power ecologies. Bless biology for showing why a "monoculture" is a terrible, terrible idea for a city, and certainly for a country! www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

My new book Conscious Tribes is now available for pre-order. amandatattersall.com/conscious-tr... It launches in August with Hardie Grant. It’s a book about how we make a difference with others — especially at a time when the problems we face can feel too big, too complex and too overwhelming.

We’re launching a new format on the ChangeMakers Channel: ChangeMakers Digest. Amanda Tattersall and Samuel Chu take an issue in the news — or something that has grabbed their attention — and try to digest it: reflect on it, connect the dots, and ask what it teaches us about making change.

If you only listen to one podcast this week (this year…) make it this one. Two gutsy women - each dealing with their own issues - discuss @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social new book. Thank you @amandatattersall.bsky.social changemakerspodcast.org/antoinette-l...
