Political Exclusion – Controlling the Narrative and Retaining Power Prescription 6: Strengthening Grassroots Movements Too often, top-down governance excludes the very communities it claims to serve. Decisions are made without meaningful input from those most impacted, resulting in policies that perpetuate cycles of dependency, inequality, and disempowerment. This video explores Prescription 6: Strengthening Grassroots Movements—a vital response to political exclusion. By investing in local leadership, organizing infrastructure, and community-driven solutions, we can shift power from centralized institutions to the people on the ground. Grassroots organizing empowers communities to advocate for their own needs, build resilience, and lead systemic change. Sociologically, grassroots movements challenge entrenched power structures and unite diverse groups through shared struggle. Spiritually, we reflect on how Jesus began with ordinary people—fishermen, tax collectors, the poor—revealing that true transformation often rises from the margins. We spotlight movements like Occupy Wall Street and the Poor People’s Campaign, which have elevated marginalized voices and demanded justice in the face of economic, racial, and environmental oppression. This is more than a policy—it’s a call to action. Because empowered people empower change.
