What now? The power of us. [1]

I was recently challenged by a fellow kossack when I posted that we the people have the most power in our society, even after losing the election, “Please, point to what power we have.”
I responded, “We have the power to completely rebuild our culture to one of equity and abundance for humans and the biosphere, if we feel like it. From the individual, neighborhood, city, state, and even regional level. Nobody is stopping us.”
Here I will expand on this idea a little, including links to resources I have found helpful and inspiring.
Individual Level
Starting at the individual level, we can first envision what kind of society we want to live in. All humans share the same core needs; water, food, clothing, shelter, security, community, and self-fulfillment. As progressives, we want all humans everywhere to enjoy these core aspects of life. So our ideal society would provide them to everyone at least at a basic, but comfortable, level. We also must place value on preserving and restoring the biosphere, which exists at every level from a pinch of soil to the entire planet and upon which we utterly depend.
