🟡 What would you build if you didn’t have to broadcast it?

🟢 What would it take to build together without being seen?

Build without broadcasting.

The most powerful movements don’t always make noise—they build trust, strategy, and care in quiet. Not every system needs to go public to matter.

We've been thinking about the kind of labor that doesn’t show up on a resume:
- Mentoring others in the margins
- Showing up again and again without fanfare
- Organizing care behind the scenes
- Protecting someone’s ability to stay anonymous because their job, safety, or community depends on it

This work is real. And it’s valuable. But traditional systems don’t always know how to see it, let alone recognize or protect it.

We’re told that citations, titles, and first-authorship count most. But what happens when the work we value most doesn’t fit that model?

✨ As we build up the next stage of the Initiative, we're thinking about how we might create fairer, more flexible systems of recognition.

We need systems that let people contribute in ways that match their risks, realities, and values.

What’s the worth of your work?

We don’t have to keep playing a game that wasn’t built for us. We can build new ones—together.
