The most connected and adaptable generation of protesters today is winning less than half as often as their parents did with just landlines and fax machines. The problem is not courage, numbers, or memes. It is what happens after the crowd departs. At MOVE, we work directly with non-violent youth movements to protect human rights and democracy together. These are our shared lessons about the role of social movements and how they turn public pressure into political influence. Read more: ow.ly/X88U50ZNRYI

COMING UP! 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 Join us for an exclusive 60-minute online conversation on how GenZ movements can bridge the gap between mass mobilisation and lasting political influence. Drawing on hard-won lessons from recent protests across the globe, this session moves past short-term viral momentum to explore the true mechanics of exercising political power. Together, we will dive deeper into the interrelationship between targeted power mapping and institutional leverage, what your movement intends to deliver and how, and the importance of building rooted grassroots structures before a political crisis erupts or a campaign is set in motion. In close collaboration with youth organizers worldwide, The Global Social Movement Centre (MOVE) applies strategic foresight to explore how social movements turn public support into lasting political influence. Led by senior strategy expert Vukasin Petrovic alongside political organizers from Zambia and the Philippines, this session features core reflections on the long, hard path of transforming public grievances into actionable policy that can last. Our guest speakers will share concrete experiences from the ground—including Zambia’s #FixIt campaign and how Philippine organizers navigate political hurdles to expose corruption to secure sufficient environmental responses and prevent corporate mining project. Whether you are building an emerging movement, running a campaign, or analyzing civic power, you will walk away with practical frameworks to convert temporary public pressure into enduring political influence.

Over recent years we have witnessed mass uprisings across the globe. Often spurred by young people around issues such as corruption, unemployment, nepotism, and the high cost of living, rapid mobilisations have sometimes led to concessions or even the toppling of corrupt, autocratic or violent governments. If you are a progressive youth movement, how do you influence power and shape the future? and, can mass disruption transform into lasting political influence? In the latest edition of ON THE MOVE, we draw on lessons from youth movements in Bangladesh and Zambia, and explore why movements need to build strong grassroots structures, relationships and strategy before the political moment arrives.
