We break it down and look at what makes movements successful via unsuccessful, how to create power and momentum in movements, and then from there we really get into the movement that I feel connected to, which is the sort of anti-war on drug movement, and we break down how we can create more momentum for that movement and what it's going to take for it to be successful.
Ever wondered what it takes to ignite a social movement that truly makes a difference? Joey Moore, a Sociology instructor at Douglas College in Vancouver, dives into this very topic in an eye-opening episode of Change Truth. With a PhD in Sociology and a rich background in Environmental and Labour Movements, Joey unpacks the nuts and bolts of what it takes to turn a passionate cause into a powerful movement.
Joey zeroes in on the Anti-War on Drug Movement, dissecting what’s needed to gather momentum and create lasting change. He argues that while education is important, it’s not enough on its own. People need to genuinely care and be willing to take action. According to Joey, images play a crucial role in movements by giving people something to rally around and creating a sense of opposition. Nimbleness and the willingness to try new strategies are other key ingredients Joey highlights.
Movements need to adapt quickly to changing circumstances to keep progressing. Allies with power and legitimacy can also provide a significant boost, helping the movement gain traction in broader society. One of Joey’s standout points is the importance of celebrating victories, no matter how small. Recognizing successes keeps morale high and motivates people to continue their efforts. He also stresses the need for movements to avoid being co-opted, ensuring they stay true to their original goals.
For anyone interested in how social movements can effect real change, Joey’s insights are both practical and inspiring. Tune in to this episode of Change Truth to hear more about how you can contribute to meaningful social change.
