Understanding Systems Of Oppression
Social change is often associated with protest, but protest is only one part of the picture. Drawing on Bill Moyer’s four roles in social movements, this video explains why lasting change needs rebels, citizens, change agents and reformers working together. Dr. Chris Owen outlines how each role contributes: rebels speak out against injustice, citizens live and model their values, change agents create campaigns that invite public participation, and reformers work within institutions to change policy and practice. You will consider why people often dismiss the approaches that feel less natural to them, and why effective change depends on recognising the value of all four. The video also shows how organisations can apply these roles by speaking publicly about their values, challenging harmful practices, creating participatory campaigns and using community insight to drive internal reform.
