Citizens UK pledge, a catalyst for social change and community benefit

Dr Catherine Durose writes for Social Sciences Birmingham blog: Citizens UK bring together locally-rooted member institutions, in the fields of education, community, trade union and faith-based organisations, and uses community organising to generate collective power for social change. Citizens UK have pioneered the use of pledges within their local campaigns on issues of social justice, where those with formal power are invited to commit publicly to action for community benefit.
