Why is it that we have gotten so comfortable explaining why we're stuck, rather than find a way, like water does? Let's talk about some junctures in some Eastie Farm projects where we got stuck and what it took to get unstuck, whether it's acquiring land as a grassroots community organization or building a structure with an unfamiliar energy infrastructure without much support. Let's hear about a situation where you felt stuck and discuss it as a class. Hopefully that will help you move forward and keep moving forward.
