Gene Sharp was a civil resistance pioneer. His ideas continue to guide activist today.

I interviewed him 2X & wrote 4 articles about him, this one in 2017 for @theprogressivemag.bsky.social

“For someone who is not politicized to see changes at a local level, to see a school board flip, to see a city council change, that gives them hope…that we can do the same thing on a state or national level…”

I published this story about Gene Sharp after his death in 2018. Of the four articles I wrote about him, this is my favorite, but few people ever read it

“If the dictators of the world were celebrating, their joy was premature.”

Read my 2019 @wagingnonviolence.org story about organizing small campaigns to hold local community leaders accountable in authoritarian Zimbabwe.

How creative protests to improve everyday life in Zimbabwe circumvent repression
Zimbabweans are filling potholes with grass and "flooding" local officials to advocate for quality-of-life issues and build a culture of accountability.

“Today's nonviolent activists are launching a global shift in protest tactics away from anger, resentment, and rage & toward a more powerful form of activism rooted in fun.…surprisingly, all of this works even better the harder dictators crack down on it.”

Unprecedented: 2025 In Review
A Special Report from Nonviolence News on Resisting Authoritarians & Corruption

from @riverasun.bsky.social
Thank you.
Unprecedented: 2025 In Review A Special Report from Nonviolence News on Resisting Authoritarians & Corruption... A Note From Rivera Sun This year has been unprecedented in so many ways. Authoritarians are causing havoc. Corruption is running rampant. Economic injustice is unbearable. And yet, the truly unprecedented aspect of this year is the staggering numbers of people are rising up for change, not just in the United States, but around the world. The sheer scope, size, scale, and frequency of nonviolent action has exponentially increased in 2025. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are in the middle of a global revolution against authoritarians, corruption, and economic injustice, especially among Gen Z. This year has seen major protests around the issues of authoritarianism, corruption and economic issues in Nepal, Indonesia, South Korea, Kenya, Nigeria, Hungary, Slovakia, Georgia, France, Mozambique, Ladakh, Uganda, Argentina, Madagascar, Timor-Leste, Ecuador, Morocco, Serbia, Peru, Brazil, Portugal, Romania, Greece, Tanzania, Guinea, the Philippines, Belgium, the United States, and more. On top of all this, protests for Palestine turned out hundreds of thousands - and sometimes millions - of people in major cities around the globe, not just once, but tirelessly throughout the year. Combined with other social issues, it’s hard to find a nation that hasn’t seen major nonviolent actions in 2025. Please follow the link in the attached article. There are more special reports on this past year coming. Keep in touch and in solidarity.
