Peaceful protest is rising across the U.S.—and history shows us why that matters. From labor rights to civil rights to climate action, nonviolent movements have repeatedly shifted public opinion, changed laws, and expanded democracy.

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych was stripped of his Olympic accreditation for wearing a helmet of memory. Our book exists for moments exactly like this, when people feel the weight of injustice but are told there’s “no place” for it.

Do you all know right wing Trump advisor Chris Rufo? In the Substack post below, he called for using "unmarked vans to follow key agitators and snatch them from the streets while the media are not looking." This sounds like something from history or Pinochet's Chile; but it could happen here. 1/2

40 yrs ago today, French Secret Service agents bombed Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, killing beloved photographer Fernando Pereira. The ship and crew were preparing to protest French nuclear testing in the Pacific. It wasn't OK to attack peaceful protesters then and it isn't OK now.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

On this day in protest history: April 24, 1968, students at Columbia University began a sit-in at Hamilton Hall to protest Columbia’s involvement in weapons research for the Vietnam War and its treatment of communities of color surrounding the campus.

On the first Earth Day, in 1970, over 20 million people protested across the country. They marched, created art, held teach ins, pressured elected officials. In the following years, a slew of bedrock enviro laws were created. That is what happens when 20 million people protest for the planet.
