# Movements

Movements change agendas, identities, language, leadership pools, acceptable positions, institutional personnel, and the costs of inaction. Their power is not exhausted by legislation or elections. Durable movements combine base, organization, leadership development, political education, resource flows, narrative, tactics, care, security, coalition maintenance, and learning.

Avoid heroic compression. Record faction, exclusion, ego, repression, burnout, violence, innovation, courage, and unintended effects. Distinguish a movement's self-description from external classification and from the conduct of specific participants.
