In North America, we have the term "grass roots". As in, obtaining "grass roots" support for something. This seems to express the semantic idea of nemawashi, and, as a bonus, using the same metaphor of plant roots.

Then why have a separate article? I move that there should just be a footnote in "Grassroots".
