Grassroots movements are initiatives driven by ordinary people at the local level, aiming to create social or political change. These movements often emerge in response to community needs and are characterized by their bottom-up approach, where the power lies with the participants rather than established leaders or organizations. Typically, grassroots movements utilize various strategies, including community organizing, advocacy, and public awareness campaigns. They can address a wide range of issues, such as environmental protection, social justice, and political reform. Notable examples include the Civil Rights Movement and the Women’s Suffrage Movement, which mobilized citizens to demand change and influence policy.
