Highlights Social movements with online leverage advocate in favor of commuters and pedestrians. Dignified mobility as a basic human right is used as a moral frame. Online social media platforms facilitate the formation of collective identity. Urban social movements contribute to sustainable transition by reorienting policy.

    Abstract We study how two mobility social movements with online leverage (namely AltMobility PH and Friends of Pearl Drive) attempt to reorient the trajectory of transport development in favor of commuters and pedestrians by activating State apparatus through politics. Both organizations tried to engage politicians and influence agenda-setting by the State. Drawing on more than a year of extensive ethnographic data and auto-ethnographic accounts, we explain how both social movements leverage online social media to build a spectacular public, forge collective identity, organize and magnify their advocacy.
