[[Movement for Change]] is a grassroots activism organization founded in 1997 to replace an earlier group, '''Progressive Alliance Community Equity Resources and Strategies''' (or '''PACERS'''), whose purpose was to rename [[Palafox]] or [[Alcaniz Street]]s to honor Martin Luther King, Jr (which had already been accomplished to a degree with the [[Martin Luther King Plaza]] on Palafox).

Some of the organizations accomplishments, according to [http://movementforchange.org/staticpages/index.php?page=20060628173536423 its website], include:
*Renamed Alcaniz Street to [[Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard]]

*Produced the symbolic and historical Drive for the Drive books, covering the 2 1/2 year struggle to name a street after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
*Sponsored "Back to School" readiness programs
*Registered a significantly large number of new potential voters
*Supported the renaming of the School District Building to [[Dr. Vernon McDaniel building]]
*Provided voters with transportation to the polls
