@kfitz As she goes on to note: “we can only do it if we act collectively. It means shifting from the mindset of individuals acting inside, or even in direct opposition to, our collective systems, and instead acting together to transform them” (196).
Infrastructure and Governance
More on How Infrastructure Works: Chachra makes the connection between the social purposes and effects of infrastructures and the importance of ensuring appropriate systems for the governance clear: infrastructure is "a collective form of care," which is "why there is a relationship between well-maintained systems and effective governance, because this governance is how we make that diffuse power actionable and allow for collective decision-making." But getting into a position in which we can build that effective governance -- and thereby create "the capacity to decentralize power in a community" (176) -- is no easy trick.
