Danielle suggests that identity politics—organizing and motivating

political action through features of your identity such as race, gender,

class, nationality, religion, etc.—is insufficient for the type of

collective action needed to solve some important global problems. How do

we, as a society, tackle issues like climate change or global poverty when

we see ourselves as fractured groups, each with its own concerns? José

believes that all political action must necessarily begin with the

interests, needs, and perspectives of identity.
