Our right to protest is under attack. Our democracy is at stake.
Nonviolent protest is one of the most powerful tools ordinary people have ever wielded. And because it works, it is under attack.
We need it now more than ever.
Written by Annie Leonard and Andre Carothers. Contributions from Jane Fonda, Robert Reich, Rebecca Solnit, Dolores Huerta, Justin J. Pearson, Shepard Fairey, Maurice Mitchell, and more.
