Because of this, new social movements draw their support from a different group of people. Old social movements were generally based on class. They typically drew their support from the working class because it was that class that was most interested in changing the status quo. By contrast (some scholars say) new social movements draw their support largely from the middle class. These are the people who are most likely to have the time and the inclination to care about causes that do not have to do with their economic well-being. These new social movements are said to be organized loosely and to be mainly local or regional.
