Social Movement Organizations as a Vehicle for Change

From: Take Back the Fight

$1.80

Chapter four, Social Movement Organizations as a Vehicle for Change, first unpacks what movement organizations are, looking at the campaign for maternity leave as a case study, and then elaborates on the importance of feminist organizations joining together to better amplify their campaigns. The author sets some prescriptions for an organized feminist social movement and explores a variety of movement structures and spaces. She also traces the way neoliberalism has changed how social movements work, with the professionalization of the not-for-profit sector as an example.
