Practitioners’ responses to Saunders and Roth’s Ten Talking Points for organising for change

This collection of papers combines practitioners’ responses to the Ten Talking Points (Saunders and Roth, 2026). Neate (Shelter) reflects on practices like subversive humanitarianism, useful for rebuilding trust in charities. Kogbara (Place Matters) discusses the role of formal institutions in social change ecosystems and highlights the need for hope. McCallum (Greenpeace) focuses on the diversification and localisation of Greenpeace’s activist base, which affects its decision making. Saunders and Roth reply to the issues raised by the practitioners.
