Editing Strategizing (section)

===== Systems: Shifts in Worldviews =====
By shifting worldviews, the oppressive values that lead to injustice are changed, while the values that will allow change to survive are developed. In order to develop these values, we draw upon existing cultural beliefs, norms, traditions, histories and practices that shape political meaning. We can do this by taking the values and stories of the change we are trying to create, and connecting those to the values and stories of the people whose worldview we are trying to shift. In this way, telling compelling stories is key to many strategies trying to shift worldviews. For example, a campaign working for rights of transgender people might share stories of the oppression experienced by trans people in public spaces and the media in order to shift the worldviews and values of decision makers and the general public.
