How to get involved
At ROOTS, we bring grassroots initiatives, activism, and community-driven actions to challenge, influence, or reform economic policies and programmes that usually fail citizens. Individuals and communities can join ROOTS to help leverage grassroots voices, political negotiation, and collective action to shift policy priorities toward the needs of everyday Sierra Leoneans, rather than the interests of a few elites leading political parties. Here are six ways you can be involved:
Political actors respond to incentives, scrutiny, and reputational risk — especially during elections.
Be an ambassador
Contracts and economic governance are high-leverage entry points that directly shape fiscal space, service delivery, and institutional performance.
Join our campaigns
Citizens can unite around shared economic losses, even when politically divided.
Fundraise
Dissatisfaction must be organised to become politically consequential.
Monitor change
Elections create windows for raising the cost of non-commitment to reform. pressure and sustained visibility.
Give feedback
Resistance from vested interests is inevitable but can be countered through coalition

What people say
“When trouble comes to a country, it is the children who suffer the most.”
We can't simply change leaders. We know that we've been changing leaders back and forth, and nothing has changed. As citizens, we believe that we can provide the pressure that can lead to that change." -
“We need a movement that unites citizens beyond tribe, party, and region.” -
If the same problems continue across governments, then the system itself is the issue.” -
