Grassroots Solutions For Global Problems
In honor of this year's 75th anniversary of the United Nations, CGS Minnesota Board Member Jim Nelson wanted to capture a glimpse of the rich history of the Minnesota United Nations movement. In his article, “Grassroots Solutions for Global Problems,” Nelson shares reflections on his own personal 50-plus year journey as an active participant in global change on a local level, interspersed with stories of those who influenced him along the way. The piece serves as a testament to how it is often ordinary citizens who have the greatest impact. As Gandhi once stated: "When the people lead, leaders will follow”.
