CLICK HERE TO GO DIRECTLY TO NONVIOLENCE
People using civil disobedience and nonviolent direct action have a proud history of creating change across hundreds of years. Internationally the civil rights movement, gains made by suffragettes and people power driving the overthrow of dictators have inspired many.
In Australia we have seen significant wins with hundreds of people participating in civil disobedience in the Franklin River and Jabiluka campaigns, as well as on many social justice issues. When nonviolent direct action is done well it can be a relatively safe and positive experience leading to significant social change.
