Though this may look like regular old chicken, don't be fooled: it’s buzzing with the bright flavors of ginger and lime. (he/him)

![Popular Movements
80. We must also recognize that, throughout centuries of Christian history, helping the poor and advocating for their rights has not only involved individuals, families, institutions, or religious communities. There have been, and still are, various popular movements made up of lay people and led by popular leaders, who have often been viewed with suspicion and
even persecuted. I am referring to "all those persons who journey, not as individuals, but as a closely-bound community of all and for all, one that refuses to leave the poor and vulnerable behind... 'Popular' leaders, then, are those able to involve everyone... They do not shun or fear those young people who have experienced hurt or borne the weight of the cross." [71]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sc46g5523vdjf47bkz6orz7t/bafkreiewmztwmiuc42b3obzrghe6e5xzbughjmzcc7cbwhefxcjzxusa4y@jpeg)
![81. These popular leaders know that solidarity
"also means fighting against the structural causes of poverty and inequality; of the lack of work, land and housing; and of the denial of social and labor rights. It means confronting the destructive effects of the empire of money...
Solidarity, understood in its deepest sense, is a way of making history, and this is what the popular movements are doing." [72] For this reason, when different institutions think about the needs of the poor, it is necessary to "include popular movements and invigorate local, national and international governing structures with that torrent of moral energy that springs from including the excluded in the building of a common destiny." [73] Popular movements, in fact, invite us to overcome "the idea of social policies being a policy for the poor, but never with the poor and never of the poor, much less part of a project which can bring people back together." [74] If politicians and professionals do not listen to them, "democracy atrophies, turns into a slogan, a formality; it loses its representative character and becomes disembodied, since it leaves out the people in their daily struggle for dignity, in the building of their future." [75] The same must be said of the institutions of the Church.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sc46g5523vdjf47bkz6orz7t/bafkreietojm4c6x4547d7cyv2cx47pej6sf5syfqo75rgmhx5zjpwoiv3q@jpeg)
