More and more people are using the term transformation to describe the type of fundamental change that is needed to make society more just and livable for all people (and for all life) on the planet. A critical question is: what is transformation, and how is it distinct from change? This People’s Movement Assembly on Transformation seeks to explore the nature of transformation as it relates to processes of change in general and most particularly as it relates to social change. The purpose of the PMA is to identify the essence of transformation and concretely recommend transformative approaches for social change activists that can inform practices for individuals, organizations, alliances, social change movements, and society as a whole. We will explore, practice, and discuss methodologies of transformative practice from a variety of modalities. Specifically the PMA will seek to create a resolution on Transformation that aims to answer these questions: 1. How do we define transformation? What standards do we want to hold for what transformation is and isn’t? 2. Why is Transformation and Transformative Practice important to the Movement? 3. Why is it essential to integrate personal and systemic transformation?
