摘要

In their recent editorial “The challenges now are far bigger,” Mattaini et al. (2025) emphasized the critical need to bring behavior scientists skilled in contextual behavioral science and culturo-behavior systems science (CBS2) together with collaborators in other relevant disciplines and our local communities to address the plethora of social injustices that are increasing at an alarming rate—both in number and in intensity. Revisiting four guidelines for strategic social action posited by Ardila-Sanchez, Cihon et al. (2020)—Guideline 4: Relational Responding Relevant to the Current Situation, Guideline 7: Mobilize—or Organize?, Guideline 8: Development of Collective Leadership, and Guideline 10: Shaping Courage: “Standing in the Fire” –—Mattaini and colleagues offered “actionable steps that can guide behavior scientists in building the networks of contingencies that support our engagement in practices that move society closer to global justice” (p. 3). In this editorial, we summarize the increasingly unsettling realities of the current situation in the US, revisit three additional guidelines for enacting strategic opposition, reemphasize the importance of shaping courage, and highlight examples of behavior scientists actively engaging in these critical cultural resistance practices—ones that are drawn from this issue’s meaty and provocative Activism and Advocacy Notes section.
