Movement Power: A Toolkit for Building People Power in a Time of Crisis (Zine)

Introduction

A toolkit for grassroots groups that explores how power works and how powerful we can be when people act together in common cause and solidarity with each other.

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.

This zine by Tipping Point UK is for anyone who’s ever felt powerless in the face of the multiple crises we are living through today. You can work through the printed version with any group you are a part of. It covers how to build your group membership and local power, how to take strategic and creative action, and how to connect your group and build solidarity with other groups and movements, and lots more!

The truth is we have the power. We just need to learn how to wield it.
