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

“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.”

“And organizing is critical too. A mass action doesn’t start on social media alone. It happens when relationships are strengthened and even built with people we haven’t organized with yet.”

“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.”
