Question:

Writing my next script, I need to know if the term "leisure time" is hard to understand among people of different nationalities, and if I should perhaps use the synonym "spare time" instead, to make my script easier to understand for everyone.

(leisure time, spare time, and free time are all words describing the time we have outside of work)

"In other words, we are not primarily trying to convert those who do not agree with us; we are trying to reinforce and rally those who do. We have enough and more than enough people on our side: the job is not to recruit people to our worldview but to recruit them to action. In the current situation, we – the we who believe in human rights, climate action, justice, science, the rule of law – are the vast majority, facing down a regime that has to try to seize the powers of authoritarianism exactly because it lacks this popular support. Building and reinforcing opposition – active, engaged opposition – is important work."
