Migration

The 'movement power' method promises to deliver active popular support for sweeping social change. Here's how it works.

The movement power model of civil resistance can only succeed when its strategy informs and magnifies its tactics - its front line actions.

A mass movement can mobilise around strategic campaigns with instrumental demands - and around prefigurative campaigns with symbolic demands.

A successful campaign needs unity in its aims and actions, but plurality and autonomy for its activists.

The movement power approach to building mass movements has many benefits - but also some problems. So how to proceed?

The hybrid model of mass organising is based on both the structure and momentum traditions. So what is the history of successful protest, and how can it inform our work today?

The hybrid organising model is formed from the DNA of its two parents – the structure and momentum traditions – which will ensure the success of its offspring.

A mass movement for climate action can be deployed though a cycle of momentum, organisational theorists explain.

‘Governments must consider a heating planet’s imminent threat to Pacific peoples’ lives.’

‘Can we love individual immigrants, while opposing mass migration?’ The answer is no.

The media has a responsibility to fairly represent displacement in the context of climate change.

People forced by climate change to relocate are described by the media as victims or as security threats. There is little information about vulnerable communities’ fight to secure a viable future. We need to challenge these representations to provoke policies that protect the inherent rights of people affected by climate change, argues MARIA SAKELLARI

Record global temperatures in 2015 and 2016 are causing a humanitarian crisis that is more than double that of conflict as a cause of displacement and migration, the WMO stated today. Heatwaves, flood, drought and fires are all contributing to the declining food and water security affecting over 60 million people worldwide.
