In a healthy “ecology of change,” as we call it, you have both shorter-term movement uprisings and longer-term organization building. Our hope with this book is that it will help people understand how distinct organizing traditions work a little bit differently from one another — and that by creating greater understanding, it might help break down some of the suspicion and hostility that sometimes emerges between people who come from different schools of thought about creating change. We hope that, instead of having different methods of change working against each other, they can be more creative in supporting one other and advancing common goals.

Groups and leaders regularly dismiss other slices of the ecosystem (inside-game people are “sell-outs,” for example, or personal-transformation people are “navel gazers”). This leads to movement fracturing and undercuts the ability of groups to collaborate in ways necessary to achieve the most significant changes. Understanding the ecology can help diagnose these conflicts and address them more effectively.

Every organisation working for a more just and equitable world is part of a larger ecosystem of social changemakers. If you want to create change, you must understand this ecosystem. Movement ecology helps create this understanding through movement mapping: collaboratively developing an information-rich visual map of the ecosystem you and your organisation(s) are part of. Such a map shows actors, their relative power and how they are connected (or not), but also their strategic goals and capabilities in all their diversity.
