This is one of those articles that reads better from the bottom up than the top down. Reading it this way will allow you to learn what systems change is and how to do it before the more polemical section on why it's important. And it highlights one of the article's more important points, namely, "We can't get to a place where individuals and groups shape society to meet their own needs by imposing on them a conception of what those needs are and how to address them—hence the field's important and growing emphasis on proximate leadership. Those proximate to a problem understand how inequity and oppression occur at the individual level because they've lived it or are otherwise proximate to those who have."
