The ‘3.5% rule’ discovered by Erica Chenoweth is really interesting.
Also the number of demonstrators in the former #GDR, who in 1989 ultimately contributed to the peaceful overthrow of the system in #EastGermany, was nearly 3.5%.

... of government, take a stand in support of #ClimateAction and democratic rights. I ask you to advocate for policies that – at the very least – align with our international #ClimateCommitments, protect the right to #PeacefulProtest, and support the necessary transition to a just and #sustainable future.
I look forward to your response.
Thank you / Merci / Niitsiniiyi’taki,

Valerie Costa on why #PeacefulProtest matters:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/13/elon-musk-tesla-takedown-protest
#peacefulprotest is 1 of many tactics to leverage a small force against a larger and better resourced one.
It works in part because you challenge a systems pretense of justice. If the system reacts with violence you reveal its hypocrisy.
A peoples ability to see themselves in another's shoes (empathy) is critical for this tactic. that's why a common counter tactic is to emphasize differences and dehumanize sub groups.
Caring about another person is resistance.

Once again, we had a wonderful day at the Women's march and the Tesla takedown in Chicago!
Our next day of action is March 15th. However, we will not be hosting a march in #Chicago due to the st. Patrick's Day parade (it's impossible to get permits).
If you want to protest, we recommend you join the protest In #Springfield details are below.
We had a helluva protest today, but our work doesn't end. We have another protest THIS SATURDAY for international Women's Day! Join us and share this flyer with your friends either on socials or in person.

#Greenpeace on Trial: $300M Lawsuit over #StandingRock #Protests Could Shutter Group & Chill #FreeSpeech
#DemocracyNow, March 04, 2025
"A closely watched civil trial that began in #NorthDakota last week could bankrupt Greenpeace and chill #EnvironmentalActivism as the climate crisis continues to deepen. The multimillion-dollar lawsuit by #EnergyTransfer, the oil corporation behind the #DakotaAccessPipeline, claims Greenpeace organized the mass protests and encampment at Standing Rock between 2016 and 2017 aimed at stopping construction of the project.
"Although the uprising at Standing Rock was led by #Indigenous #WaterDefenders, Energy Transfer is instead going after Greenpeace for $300 million in damages — an amount that could effectively shutter the group’s U.S. operations. 'This case is not just an obvious and blatant erasure of #IndigenousLeadership, of #IndigenousResistance,' says Deepa Padmanabha, a senior legal adviser for #GreenpeaceUSA. 'It is an attack on the broader movement and all of our First Amendment rights to free speech and #PeacefulProtest.'"

@palin
Let’s be clear: the right to protest is enshrined in the Constitution, and no one, least of all the current president, has the authority to strip us of that right.
We urge everyone to be safe, stay informed, and continue to exercise their rights peacefully and lawfully. This is a critical moment in the ongoing fight to protect our freedoms. Together, we will not let these threats deter us.
