Across political, social, and spiritual spheres, humanity faces a reckoning with the structures of power that shape our world—and the urgent need to turn from putting our faith in unreliable actors in favor of putting our faith in ourselves and responding to oppression with collective action.
The recent acquittal of the police officer killers of Tyre Nichols, Donald Trump’s continued assaults on both international institutions and domestic democratic norms, and the rising threat of regional international wars are all points of entry for deeper reflection on the meaning of collective human purpose—focusing on broad movements for liberating social change despite the constant noise of daily events. Against this backdrop, the selection of Pope Leo XIV (Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost) as the leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics raises a pressing question: How can moments that command the attention of billions signal a renewed call to renegotiate the foundations of the modern world order?
At this critical juncture—amid the accelerating decline of the Age of Europe and White World Supremacy and the emergence of truly multipolar global relationships—even faith, whether in the divine or in each other, can feel insufficient. But history reminds us that, while individuals alone cannot dismantle entrenched institutions, people acting together can. As U.S. courts begin to challenge the most flagrantly illegal acts of federalized white nationalism, and as institutions such as markets and universities resist authoritarian pressure, more and more people are turning to the most potent force in any society: collective action. Whether through town halls, protests, or civil disobedience, communities are rising up.
As this commencement season—a time of hope and renewal—unfolds, we are reminded of a timeless truth: belief must be made real through action.
