“No president alone can effectively address the crisis facing the working families of this country without a powerful grassroots movement.”
- Bernie Sanders
Grassroots power.
Local affects global.
Some of the biggest progress in the world started at the local grassroots level like marriage equality, women’s suffrage, and civil rights. With sustained grassroots power, we can change the world.
Necessary in shaping progressive politics.
Grassroots movements garner public attention to political concerns increasing pressure on representatives to act in favor of the people they’re supposed to represent.
Identify issues.
Being on the ground as a grassroots organizer, we see what local issues are having adverse affects on our community and are able to help solve the issue by working with our representatives..
People power.
Grassroots is often conflated with participatory democracy. To create a more equitable society grassroots need to be at the basis for civil rights and economic reform movements.
