  • 1.  Does the Environmental Movement Need New Messengers?

    Posted 05-01-2017 23:06
    Social movements sometimes have unofficial messengers or mascots that epitomize the movement's ideals
    (in businesses, these are called "brand ambassadors"). Stakeholders begin to judge the movement based
    on the attributes of these mascots. What if the lifestyles or behaviors of these mascots contradict
    the movement's core message? Should the movement continue to embrace them?

    Here is a short piece we published today on the "messenger problem" that the US environmental movement faces:
