For example, one seminar examined public narrative through Marshall Ganz’ curriculum on identity, agency, and action. Prime Movers opt into expert-led seminars covering everything from movement strategy and personal strategic positioning to theoretical discussions related to mobilizing masses of people. As a community, Prime Movers openly discuss intersecting issues and discover new pathways for leading change. Prime Movers convene in various settings-from informal gatherings to more formal seminars, retreats, and peer-to-peer phone calls. We provide financial support, public policy contacts, advocacy training, networking occasions, opportunities for reflection, and a peer network to strengthen their leadership. This focus allows leaders to think beyond their organizations and take on broader, more pivotal roles within their movements. The program cultivates community development among the leaders, establishing a resource-rich network aimed at sharing knowledge and building supportive relationships across movements. The fellowship emphasizes the professional development of individual leaders who engage masses of people. Prime Movers are emerging and established social movement leaders working from the local to national level in the US to create a more just society. We’ve invested in men and women who seek to bend the arc of history toward justice, believing we would see a significant return on our investment as these individuals engage millions in pursuit of social change, thus strengthening civic engagement across the United States. Prime Movers Social movements have repeatedly re-woven the tapestry of our country’s history.
