reform on a particular social issue requires a ‘call to arms,’ a way of framing an issue in such a way that ameliorative action becomes an option in the minds of the affected parties. Benford and Snow have referred to this requirement as ‘motivational framing’ (2000: 617).

And remember – what will “motivate” some will de-motivate others.
