"It's important for us as academics to recognize that our knowledge is less important than the community's knowledge. As an academic, you are on tap – not on top. It is essential for communities to develop their own power." - Harry Boyte

For those of you who weren't able to join us in DC for the third annual Civic Agency Institute, please watch the footage from the event. In this video, Harry Boyte elaborates on We the People and explains how we might explain our work to others. This is an amazing and short (15 minutes long) speech that lays the groundwork for We the People.

The song is "We Are the Ones" by Melissa Etheridge.
