I get to know some activists personally and develop more empathy on them, keep a close attention on latest progress and provide help if necessary.
Have you actively sought out information on the Harvard renaming process?
I develope ideas for improving the current naming system through consistently -learn ing from the practice of both top-down and bottom-up, inside and outside.
I actively join in the actions on campus, such as signing petitions, participating in protests, conducting workshops and -per formances, involving in publicity both onsite and on social media.

Do you set up channels for feedback, and also reply to them?
I build diverse channels for consultation, including attitude surveys, roundtable meetings, and public hearings, to make sure that community engagement is involved in the decision making process.
I place a few hand-picked representative community members on board of our decision making, allowing people to propose or advise, but keep the right to judge the legitimacy, feasibility and priority of these suggested actions.

Why Naming Expeditor?
Citizen Control
I have community organizations hold the significant cards to assure accountability of their advocacy by having control on a certain budget, hiring decisions, or having final veto powers. A community organization supported by adequate technical and financial resource takes charge of the affairs on naming, denaming and renaming, and have the -ma jority of seats in the committee of decision making.
Our Vision
We hope each action taken will work as a step adding up to a sustained effort leading positive changes toward a collective naming system with more transparency from the institution side, more democracy and participation from the community, and more awareness for all.
With a full awareness the secondary stake of myself, and the concerns people commonly hold, I still decide on mobilizing and leading more people as I used to be in building an organization that keeps the naming issue in the loop at Harvard.
I realize that any systemic change will be a long and painstaking journey, and start to consider ways to make a sustained -com mitment that survives beyond my own stay. Leader
