Are you part of a movement?
What follows are definitions and descriptions so this question is understood clearly.
Specifically a social movement. These may occur on the local, national or even global stage. A few questions when answered begin to define the interest people may have in the movement.
What is it that the movement wants to change?
How much change is the movement seeking?
Sociologist David Aberle (1966) developed categories that distinguish among social movements.
1. Alternative Movements – typically focus on self improvement. With limited specific changes to individual beliefs and behavior.
2. Redemptive or Religious Movements – typically focused on specific and defined segments of a population. The objective is to create inner change or spiritual growth in individuals.
3. Revolutionary Movements – look to change completely every aspect of society. This will most likely be in a dramatic way.
Other helpful descriptions offer further insight into a movement.
Is the scope reform or radical? Where reform would change a few norms or laws – radical would seek to change value systems.
Is the movement targeting groups, individuals or an entire population?
Will the movement base it’s efforts on peaceful methods or violence and chaos?

Here’s a quick summary provided by google AI online –
“…a compelling cause that resonates with a large group of people, strong leadership, effective messaging, a favorable political climate, widespread mobilization through accessible channels, a catalyst event that sparks action, and the ability to adapt strategies and build coalitions to gain momentum and maintain public attention. This is essentially a clear message with a critical mass of passionate supporters and the right circumstances to propel the movement forward.”
