Ben & Jerry\u2019s Foundation\u2019s theory of change<\/strong><\/h5>\n
People most affected by a problem are in the best position to determine the solutions. Therefore, leadership development is an essential component of social change work.
\nTrue change occurs only when underlying, systemic forces are understood and addressed.
\nGrassroots, constituent-led organizing is among the most effective means to create social change. They define organizing as collective action from the bottom up that challenges the status quo, demands changes in policy and practice, educates communities about root causes, and advocates and agitates for systemic and just solutions.
\nFinally, lasting change occurs when Social Justice Movements are built from the ground up and grassroots groups come together across sectors and constituencies to work for the common principles of Human Rights and Justice for All.
\nFurthermore, the Grassroots Organizing for Social Change program supports organizations that share and embody this theory of change.<\/h5>\n
