About

 

Hi, my name is Mohsin and I'm the organiser of this site. I've been a grassroots activist now for nearly 20 years and I started this site mainly because I wanted a platform to share my perspective with other grassroots organisers or those interested in social change. 

 

I have for the last year been writing articles and compiling issues of my zine Social Change without any real idea of what I was going to do with it all.  Mostly I just found myself with a lot to say but no-one to say it to, which was pretty frustrating.  So after nearly a year I hit on the un-original idea of starting a website where I could publish the Social Change zine and also develop a social change blog. 

 

The result is what you see.  I guess, in time, I hope that Social Change might become a small radical NGO, maybe a collective of some sort, so by putting it all out there I am also hoping to connect with other like-minded people who resonate with the ideas and projects I outline here.   

 

Mainly however I just want to be able to present the increasing number of people who become disenfranchised with the system with an alternative perspective as well as ideas for what a more ecological and socially just society might look like and how to get there.  I'm not a revolutionary, I'm not trying to radicalise people or turn them into ideologues.  I'm interested in providing an alternative dialogue, one that I think is more truthful and better informed.  Of course, that means not only critiquing the system, but also our movements, as all too often our movements can mirror the very worst aspects of the system.  

 

So that is my rationale for this website.  I hope you find it useful, informative and thought provoking, and if you're interested in taking it further, then get in touch.
