This document discusses various approaches to social movements, including integrationist, anti-systemic, and non-hegemonic approaches. It also examines how social movement organizations become more moderate and bureaucratic over time in order to mobilize more resources and expand membership. Specifically, it analyzes how animal advocacy groups like PETA have shifted from supporting more radical direct action to focusing on more mainstream reform efforts. The document also discusses the tensions between pursuing a single issue focus versus an intersectional approach to social movements.
Collective behavior refers relatively spontaneous and relatively unstructured behavior by large numbers of individuals acting with or being influenced by other individuals.

ABOUT THIS REPORT
This initial report was produced by Institute for Policy Studies staff in support of the Poor People’s Campaign: A
National Call for Moral Revival (www.PoorPeoplesCampaign.org). This campaign, marking the 50th anniversary of
the Poor People’s Campaign led by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other leaders, aims to build a broad and
deep national movement rooted in the leadership of the poor and dispossessed as moral agents and reflecting the
great moral teachings to unite our country around a transformative agenda to combat poverty, racism, militarism,
and ecological devastation. We worked in collaboration with the Co-Chairs of the Poor People’s Campaign, Rev. Dr.
William J. Barber, II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, and the Tri-Chairs of the Campaign's Audit Committee, Rev. Dr.
James Forbes, Dr. Tim Tyson, and Shailly Gupta Barnes.
In the coming months, the Institute for Policy Studies will work with the Poor People’s Campaign to conduct a much
more in-depth “audit” of the structural and systemic causes for what Dr. King called the “Triplets of Evil” — racism,
extreme materialism, and militarism — as well as the interrelated problem of ecological destruction. To learn lessons
for today, we will be hearing testimony and interviewing leaders who’ve been in the middle of the key struggles
for progress of the past 50 years. This analysis will feed into the new Poor People’s Campaign’s efforts to advance
structural solutions to the multiple crises of today.

Social Institutions
“A complex of positions, roles, norms and values lodged in particular types of social structures and organising relatively stable patterns of human activity with respect to fundamental problems in producing life-sustaining resources, in reproducing individuals, and in sustaining viable societal structures within a given environment.”
Turner, Jonathan. (1997). The Institutional Order. New York: Longman.
Social Institutions
· A complex of positions, roles, norms and values
· lodged in particular types of social structures and
· organising relatively stable patterns of human activity
· with respect to fundamental problems
· in producing life-sustaining resources,
· in reproducing individuals, and
· in sustaining viable societal structures within a given environment.
Social Institutions
· Sociologyguide.com: “A social institution is a complex, integrated set of social norms organized around the preservation of a basic societal value.”
· Five primary social institutions in every society and the values that they regulate:
· Economy/Work: regulation of money and goods (exchange)
· Family/friends: regulation of kinship and connection
· Government: regulation of power
· Religion: regulation of the supernatural
· Education: regulation of knowledge
Marriage as an Institution
· A complex of positions, roles, norms and values
· lodged in particular types of social structures and
· organising relatively stable patterns of human activity
· with respect to fundamental problems
· in producing life-sustaining resources,
· in reproducing individuals, and
· In sustaining viable societal structures within a given environment.
Social Institution: Economy/Work
· Marx and other Conflict Theorists studied class differences and exploitation- sociologists still use this framework for understanding some avenues of employment
· Poverty (causes and consequences, perceptions)
· Racial biases in hiring practices (we’re reading an article for the next Module)
· Gender experiences in the workplace (Gender capital, sexual harassment and the #metoo movement)
· LGBTQ discrimination in the workplace (does the Civil Rights Act cover LGBTQ protections?)
Social Institution: Family
· Role of the family in socialization and identity development (George Herbert Mead- family is the first “generalized other”)
· “Institution of marriage”- multiple institutions exist within these broad categories; some of them are more abstract
· This secondary institution has evolved over time
· “The Second Shift” The intersection of work and economics with the family and intimacy
Social Institution: Family
· The Second Shift: Working Parents and the Revolution at Home (Arlie Hochschild, 1989)
· The “Second Shift”- the extra shift of “housework” that working women have to take on at home
· Found that despite their entrance into the workforce, women still performed the majority of the housework and child rearing; this often caused conflict in the marriage and the household
· Howe.
A Book Review of “Suburban Warriors: The Origins of the New American Right”Matthew Shepler
As part of an American History course which was instructed by Professor Brandon Gauthier of Fordham University; Fordham School of Professional and Continuing Studies. The essay was a book review of "Suburban Warriors: The Origins of the New American Right" which was written by Lisa McGirr. The essay explains more information about Right-Wing politics, Anti-Semitic ideas, and the conservative movements of the 1950s and 60s. Though, on the contrary, the research paper demonstrates how the politics can research for minority groups and lower social classes of America for the Right-Wing Conservatives.

For whom do we do diversity and for what
purpose? Decolonising diversity requires
interrogating how power operates in and
through diversity management. The
systems of power that can be reinforced
through diversity practices include
patriarchy, heteronormativity and white

Feminism — or really, feminisms — is both a
theoretical field and a political practice
aimed at ending the subordination of
women.
FEMINISM
13
14
FEMINISMS
Feminism is far from a unitary
movement. Rather, it is often
distinguished through its political
positions including:
1. Liberal feminisms;
2. Marxist feminisms;
3. Poststructuralist and
postmodernist feminisms;
4. Anti-racist and decolonial
feminisms; and
5. Queer theory.
WARNING: There are inherent
limitations in the use of
classifications. Namely, they
suggest a temporal and special
fixedness in each classification. It’s
therefore important to remember
that feminism is also a process,
with each category identified
being revised and reshaped.
14
15
Anti-racism is a theoretical field and a
political practice aimed at ending the
subordination of people of colour. Like
feminist movements, it comprises diverse
groups of people struggling to ameliorate
conditions for their community.
ANTI-RACISM

Justice is what love looks like
in public
— Cornel West“

17
ANTI-RACISM
Anti-racism challenges white supremacy through
scholarship and activism that encourages love for
people of colour; especially, for people of colour to
learn to love ourselves.
This resistance affects organisations because unless
we love people of colour, we are not going to think of
them as capable, reliable, intelligent, creative, etc.

Achieving environmental liberation through animal liberation by Adam CardiliniNickPendergrast
Talk audio: https://archive.org/details/ELandAL
Wild mammals make up 4% of the biomass of global mammal populations, while humans make up 36% and farmed mammals make up 60%. Similarly, farmed chickens make up 70% of the biomass of global bird populations. To sustain these huge farmed animal populations we use vasts amounts of land, resources and produce significant amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Our use of non-human animals is significantly impacting the global environment and is a leading cause of environmental destruction. By ending our oppression of farmed animals we can reclaim land for rewilding and significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve environmental liberation we must understand the link between animal oppression and environmental destruction. Ignoring the oppression of animals comes at the expense of the environment.
This workshop will describe the link between animal and environmental oppression. Participants will discuss why animal oppression is often ignored in the environmental movement and identify ways forward.

Experimental Utopias and Social Change: Examples from Australian Non-Hegemoni...NickPendergrast
Audio for this talk: https://archive.org/details/NonHegemonic
Abstract:
Social movements are typically considered either incremental or antisystemic, or in other words, reformist or revolutionary. Both of these approaches are focused on the state or other significant power-holders. However, a third approach to social change does not attempt to change society as a whole, but instead imagines an alternative society, and begins to experiment with those alternatives. We look at examples from Australia to think through some of the key issues surrounding non-hegemonic activism. In particular, we use cases from animal advocacy and indigenous activism to contextualise the concept of non-hegemonic activism in Australia. Vegan activism and self-determination activism are both attempts to create change without directly challenging power structures – but by their very existence they do question whether mainstream society is, in fact, successful. These broad movements contain elements of both state-centric and non-hegemonic activism, and we unpack the experimental utopias that activists are attempting to bring about.

Nick Pendergrast. Rescuing Dogs in a Mercedes-Benz: Animal Advocacy in ChinaNickPendergrast
You can listen to the audio from this talk here: https://archive.org/details/AnimalsChina
Abstract:
There is a growing animal advocacy movement in China, which has occurred alongside a rising middle class and increasing Westernisation. Recently, Chinese animal activists forced a truck filled with dogs on their way to slaughter off the road and rescued the dogs. In the Western world, this has been cited as an example of growing concern for non-human animals in China. While this is a legitimate way in which to view this event, there are other frames which tell a different story. It can also be viewed through the lens of class and Westernisation. Those carrying out this rescue did so in a Mercedes-Benz, on the way to a hotel resort. The rescue of the dogs can be linked to the growing middle-class in China, who have increasingly being influenced by Western lifestyles including living with companion animals, and values about which animals are deemed food and which ones are not. Owning dogs as companion animals compared to eating them as food increasingly marks divides in China, along divides such as poor versus rich and urban versus rural. This presentation will explore these conflicts, as well as suggesting some implications for animal advocacy in the West.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

3. The Carbon Tax
Holly Creenaune, FoS:
• “…Expanding to a carbon market
riddled with international offsets,
polluters will avoid reducing
emissions at the expense of
communities displaced and
affected by damaging offset
projects.”
7. New Social Movements
• Less concerned with achieving political
power.
• More focussed on questioning lifestyles and
values eg individual behaviours.
• Challenge to William Kornhauser’s (1959)
relative deprivation theory: only the most
marginalised and socially isolated members
of society became involved in collective
behaviour.
• 1960s social movements featured many
relatively affluent participants, same with
AAM.
Pendergrast 2015, p. 55
8. Live Export
• Integrationist – chilled meat in place of live animals.
• 69% of Australians support the campaign.
• Animal welfare, humane slaughter (93% of Australians support).
• Anti-systemic – direct action.
• 2003: Ralph Hahnheuser placed processed pig flesh into the feed
of sheep bound for the Middle East = not Halal.
• Crossover between integrationist and anti-systemic activism.
• ALF - activists pose more of a threat to the financial and physical
well-being of its targets than other approaches.
Petray and Pendergrast
9. Non-Hegemonic – Vegan Advocacy
• Reject all slaughter, create alternatives.
• Withdrawing rather than challenging =
less of a threat than direct action, even
welfare reforms.
• Vegans challenge these industries by
rendering them redundant on an
individual level, and imaging a society
where they are no longer needed or
desired.
Petray and Pendergrast
12. Ingrid Newkirk: ‘A Pragmatic Fight for
Animal Rights’
• PETA ‘working with corporations to
achieve animal welfare reforms in their
industries’ and its ‘campaigns for
improved slaughter practises for
chickens, better living conditions for hens
and larger cages for animals in
laboratories’.
• Argues for ‘incremental change’ and
‘incremental improvements’, supporting
her arguments using the theories of ‘the
practical philosopher Peter Singer’.
13. PETA and the ALF
PETA’s Animal Times, early 1990s
• Encouraged people to participate in illegal direct
action through civil disobedience actions like
blockades, sit-ins and even hunt sabotage.
• Acted as the ALF aboveground liaison and press
office by sending out press releases on behalf of
the ALF and other radical activists when they
received anonymous communiqués.
• 1990: full page advertisement encouraging support
for the ALF.
Animal Times more recently
• By 1995, PETA no longer published ALF
communiqués and from this point onwards, the
ALF was not mentioned.
• Greater focus on more moderate tactics eg letter
writing, boycotts and call-ins.
• Completely distanced itself from the radical flank
of the movement.
• Glasser: PETA is now ‘working within the
system rather than around it’.
Glasser 2011a
14. • Characteristics of bureaucracy:
• Clear hierarchy of offices.
• Level of power and fixed income relevant to a person’s position in the hierarchy.
• Candidates appointed and not elected.
• Central control.
• Administrative staff who are completely separated from the ownership of the means of
production.
Bureaucracy (Weber)
Weber, pp. 19-27
15. • Weber (p. 24): the ‘continual spread of bureaucratic administration’ to all
kinds of organisations, including ‘armies, political parties, economic
enterprises, organizations to promote all kinds of causes, private associations,
clubs, and many others.’
• George Ritzer, The McDonaldization of Society: the focus on ‘efficiency,
calculability, predictability and control’: corporate sector – all aspects of
society.

• McDonald's paid 3
CEOs $22 million in
2004.
• Workers at the bottom
generally get paid
minimum wage and no
bonus for working
“undesirable” hours.
17. Social Movement Organisations – HSUS
- Wayne Pacelle’s
income: $252,540.00.
- Average HSUS
income: $68,095.11
(source).
18. Moderation in Social Movements
• Radicals realised they needed long-term organisation to make a
real difference – bureaucratic organisations with members and
offices, finance etc (Wallerstein, p. 659).
• Limited the degree to which these movements continued to be
anti-systemic – no longer threatened existing social structures
(Wallerstein, pp. 659-661).
• Eg civil rights movement (Allen).
19. Moderation and Resource Mobilisation
• Career benefits – organisational survival.
• Actions such as ‘giving money and signing a petition require little effort and imply no long
term involvement’ (McCarthy and Zald, p. 543) – maximise participation and resources.
• PETA (cited in Glasser 2011b): ‘our campaigns have proved extremely successful. In the
three decades since PETA was founded, it has grown into the largest animal rights group in
the world, with more than 2 million members and supporters worldwide’.
• Organisational factors eg donor base is merely one way to measure success in social
movements – larger, more professionalised organisations.
• NPIC = increasingly narrow focus, greater desire for funding (Smith).
Pendergrast 2015
20. “Single Issue” Movements
• Intersectionality (Crenshaw).
• Organisations focused on just one particular issue tend to ‘develop a larger base of
supporters’ and are also more likely to attract resources, funds and political allies
(Glasser 2011b).
• INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence offered a half year grant of $100,000
from the Ford Foundation. Ford reversed the decision because they found out that
INCITE supported the Palestinian struggle against occupation (Smith).
• Taking on more causes can shrink the donor base = grassroots activism has greater
capacity to be intersectional.
Pendergrast 2018a
22. Conclusion
• Ideological and emotional concerns also play a role (Pendergrast 2015, pp.
23-51).
