Social accumulation refers to the gathering of individuals or communities around shared interests, causes, or activities, leading to collective action and stronger social bonds. This concept plays a crucial role in movements like protests, online communities, and local organizations, where people come together to solve problems, share resources, or advocate for change.

The strength of social accumulation often depends on social capital, which includes trust, relationships, and networks within a community. This helps facilitate cooperation and collective decision-making, fostering community resilience and empowerment.
