Understanding The Problem:   The biggest dilemma is that there are too many specific problems to address at once or by any one affinity group.  Present circumstances have given rise to an unprecedented number of groups dedicated to social justice, serving as media and political watchdogs, focusing on environmentally sustainable business, and organizing around pre-emptive peace initiatives.  Each group has chosen to pursue a piece of the much larger problem. For their individual efforts, such groups are frequently reported as being divided, as in not united in their pursuits.  With the creation of such umbrella groups as Win Without War and United For Peace and Justice, this is now a false accusation that must be addressed with as much vigor as any of the original underlying issues.  To be agents of change in the bigger picture, there must be acknowledgment that such groups represent related issues, no matter the perceived complexity of the connections, and that banding together to address these issues constitutes the essential unity previously lacking.  Thus, the problem this proposal seeks to remedy is: how to assert the movement's newfound cohesion around related causes, and in doing so, pursue smaller, tangible goals that will impact the broader situation.   Go To Summary of Solution 1 of 5: Target Audience   Go To Main Menu
