The Movement

It is the future. The people of the former United States of America now embody a force for good-- a peaceful and egalitarian society committed to justice for all.

How did we do it? It took millions of us. It took all kinds. It took relentless, hard work and deep collaboration. It took a collection of movements. It took the movement.

As proud denizens of this society, we join in this historic ritual. A time for us to remember, to understand, and to renew our commitment to what we have made together.

Here, our cards invoke the powers of ancestors-- everyday people like us who showed courage in the face of injustice. Here, we are confronted by our old ways-- the beliefs and systems that resisted change. Here, we relive the struggles and acts of solidarity that have become our legacy.

This demo was developed by the Agents of Change program at Peaslee Neighborhood Center as a resource for young folks to get in touch with different activists and organizations for social change throughout history, and to demonstrate how everybody has a role they can take on in the struggle.

The model for the game is intended to be added upon, and a tool may be later developed to help folks make their own movements, institutions, and agent cards.
