  10. COMMUNITIES ADVANCING CHANGE “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead “We can all get more together than we can apart. And this is the way we gain power. Power is the ability to achieve purpose, power is the ability to affect change, and we need power.” Martin Luther King, Jr. By acting in community, not isolation;By acting on hope, not fear;By sharing God’s abundance with all, not just a few;We create a world with justice for all. From the “ISIAH Story – Who We Are and What We Stand For" Average people and the average community can change the world. You can do it just based on common sense, determination, persistence and patience.“ Lois Gibbs
