Big Ideas: Oppression and dehumanization often leads to resistance. People can and do respond to oppression and dehumanization. Social movements empower people to act upon injustices and to transform their communities. Systems impact and shape people’s lives. In turn, people can impact and shape systems. Critical awareness empowers people to take effective action against injustice in their community. Examining the root causes of problems can lead to determining actions to change or transform those problems.

Essential Questions: How do social movements develop, evolve, and impact society in ways that fight injustice and create solidarity across diverse groups of people? What role does solidarity play in movement building? Historically and in the present, how have social movements impacted systems? What are the root causes of the injustices people have historically faced? How do systems impact people and how do people impact change in the systems? What role do individuals play in the transformation of themselves, their community, and larger society?
