Fundamentals of Non Violent Protest Part I

Campaign Preparation:

  • Step 1: Self-Education and Grouping
    - RESEARCH/study groups, workshops, conferences

  • Step 2: Where to focus efforts?
    - Find weak points in opponent's armor
    - Point out the nonsense, use science, statistics, news, scandals, lies, etc not to simply make them look "bad," but WRONG, as they are.

  • Step 3: Set short range goals
    - Long range goals are obvious and easily set, but short range goals are often not so easy.
    - Must be:
    -Achievable
    -Measurable
    -Have timetable
    -Significant to long range goals!

  • Step by Step actions from least drastic to outright revolutionary
    - Investigation
    - Negotiation
    - Public forum
    - Picketing/leafletting
    - Demonstration/rally/march
    - Limited strike
    - Boycott
    - Limited noncooperation
    - Massive illegal action
    - General strike
    - Establish parallel gov't



  • This is just some base-level stuff to think about, more to come. School work has to happen, even if it doesn't seem to come first...
    Be well, and be aware
