Social change generally starts at a “small” or “local” level, with people who challenge the status quo. Most people are resistant to change no matter the circumstances they face or what they see others facing. In contrast, “foot soldiers” work towards change by making personal sacrifices or facing hardships, purely (mostly) on the basis of motivations to do “what’s right”. They often do so without seeing any real movement towards change or feeling connected to others making similar sacrifices. These people lay the groundwork for the change that is to come. At some point, as circumstances change, more people may join in the cause and a critical mass is reached which – with leadership to guide them in a direction/focus – can turn into a movement.
