Sustaining Social Movements

March 2020

A research study and conversations with 20 accomplished organisers and movement analysts across six continents, exploring the importance and challenges of creating a culture or structure of horizontalism to increase the power of ordinary people against the forces of fascism. Building up movements is both necessary and difficult. Movements can coalesce the power of ordinary people to achieve seemingly miraculous social and political change, but they don’t bloom as magically and spontaneously as onlookers often believe.
