The human dynamic of subcultures was one of Anne Coombs preoccupations. She turned it into a skill that guided her activism and philanthropy. Both GetUp! and Rural Australians for Refugees, two of the causes for which she will be best remembered, relied for their success on mobilising people with shared values and beliefs. These movements grew from the deep knowledge of the transformative power of change, one person at a time. Just like the characters in Glass Houses (Upswell 2023).
