Start your social movement which is Free High Education for all
1. Identify a social issue, including real world conditions that might cause your movement to arise. Apply some theory here! You should provide some sources to give context to give context to your chosen issue. Write for a naïve audience (who does not know about this issue).
2. Identify the type of social movement. Is it a reform, revolutionary, redemptive, or alternative movement? Explain the scope of the proposed change as well as the audience (who is changing).
3. Explain the level of social change/effect you will seek in your movement (local, state, national, global). Be specific. Use language from the textbook.
4. Explain recruitment for your movement. How will people find your movement (or how will you find them)? How will they become involved? Will their involvement be formal in nature, more individualistic, or involve smaller group endeavors? Will folks sign up or commit in some official capacity? What will their participation look like?
5. Identify an approach and avenues of effort your movement will pursue. Will you take political or legal routes? Protest? Unionizing? Another form of activism? Explain how resources will be acquired and mobilized. Lastly, explain the specific tactics you would encourage your movement to utilize. Why do you suggest these methods? You may reference another social movement if it is helpful to do so.
6. Establish a message, goal, and/or mission statement. Give your movement a name! Create some official language for your movement that will let others know who you are.
7. Make a logo, color scheme, symbol, or slogan that will come to represent your movement. How will this be used and what is its meaning?
8. Make a resource or tool for your movement. This could be a social media campaign, brochure, a "how to get involved" guide, a motivational video to inform or recruit, a protest strategy guide, or something else altogether.
