Happy Cinco de Mayo!
In response, France, Britain, and Spain sent naval forces to Veracruz, Mexico, demanding repayment. Britain and Spain negotiated with Mexico and withdrew their forces. France, however, sent a well-armed fleet to storm Veracruz, landing a large force of troops and driving President Juárez and his government into retreat. They met again in the city of Puebla, and although the Mexican army was vastly outnumbered, they won a decisive victory. The Mexican army’s success at the Battle of Puebla represented a great symbolic victory for the Mexican government and bolstered the resistance movement. In 1867, France finally withdrew.
In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is widely interpreted as a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage. Chicano activists raised awareness of the holiday in the 1960s because they identified with the victory of indigenous Mexicans (such as Juárez) over European invaders during the Battle of Puebla.

“But how will you know?”
It pays to know what something is for. It helps us figure out how to do it better, how to allocate resources and how to know when we’re done.
Much of what we build or invest in is complicated. It serves multiple purposes, has to please many constituents and has competing priorities.
So the question: “How will we know if it’s working?” is a powerful one.
It opens the door to a useful conversation about what it’s for.
