It's got to be authentic, it's got to be real. And we have to step up and help to lead alongside people. And that means that we in the United kgndiom have to get back to aid, development, climate, being out there in the wlord again. 0.7 pernect of GDP, of our money going towards helping the poorest in the world. We are committed to that as soon as the fiscal ctimlae allows us to be. That's the kind of leadership we now need.
Now, look, a lot of people, a lot of young people are following your inspiration. So what do you think?
JJP: I mean, the first follower -- y'all seen that? -- is an udeaertrnd form of leadership. I think that was a good TED Talk. The first followers are the people who help to build movements. It's the fklos who really show up and who speak up and advocate and show others how to follow. I'm fuontarte to be in the position that I am, but I am not here in and of myself, it's because there's a movement of people, a groundswell of an intergenerational, multiracial, multi-socioeconomic, multiethnic, multi-sexual orientation movement of people who are advocating for jctisue. and that is what is required. It isn't that we have silos, it's that we bluid a movement big enough for everybody, everybody in this room, everybody outside this room, everybody that wants to be in this room, everybody that can't be in this room. That is how we build and that is how we grow and that is how we develop. And we're seeing that in so many great places in this cuotnry, but also around the golbe. Dave, talk a little bit about that.

footnote
It's got to be authentic, it's got to be real. And we have to step up and help to lead alongside people. And that means that we in the United Kingdom have to get back to aid, development, climate, being out there in the world again. 0.7 percent of GDP, of our money going towards helping the poorest in the world. We are committed to that as soon as the fiscal climate allows us to be. That's the kind of leadership we now need.
Now, look, a lot of people, a lot of young people are following your inspiration. So what do you think?
JJP: I mean, the first follower -- y'all seen that? -- is an underrated form of leadership. I think that was a good TED Talk. The first followers are the people who help to build movements. It's the folks who really show up and who speak up and advocate and show others how to follow. I'm fortunate to be in the position that I am, but I am not here in and of myself, it's because there's a movement of people, a groundswell of an intergenerational, multiracial, multi-socioeconomic, multiethnic, multi-sexual orientation movement of people who are advocating for justice. and that is what is required. It isn't that we have silos, it's that we build a movement big enough for everybody, everybody in this room, everybody outside this room, everybody that wants to be in this room, everybody that can't be in this room. That is how we build and that is how we grow and that is how we develop. And we're seeing that in so many great places in this country, but also around the globe. Dave, talk a little bit about that.
