Grassroots activism is essential to the success of the contemporary
environmental movement, which depends on the organization of local
activists as well as state, national, and international
organizations. Yet grassroots activists confront numerous
challenges as they attempt to organize diverse participants and
devise fresh strategies and tactics. Drawing on more than seven
years of fieldwork following diverse organizations in Pittsburgh
over time, this book sheds light on the struggles that activists
face and the factors that sustain movements. Suzanne Staggenborg
examines individual motivations and participation, organizational
structures and cultures, relationships in movement communities, and
strategies and tactics, including issue framing. The book shows
that collective action campaigns and tactics generate solidarity,
maintain involvement, and bring in new participants even as
organizers struggle to devise effective new types of actions.
