I absolutely agree, this is a crucial and ongoing challenge in EA. I am currently undertaking a course titled ‘Civil Resistance and the Dynamics of Nonviolent Movements’ online through the United States Institute of Peace. There are a lot of takeaways on how to build movements that are really directly applicable to EA, such as how to appeal to different audiences, how to upscale a movement (diversity of members is the key, which requires a diverse range of activities people can participate in, e.g. for EA not just analytical) and strategic analysis, and I’m thinking about the best ways to apply them through my chapter in Adelaide.
