I’m not really asking you to look it up or anything, but this gets parroted around a lot, and I wonder if there’s actually any data to really support it or if it’s just a statement that kinda sounds nice.
I mean maybe not data but it’s telling that almost every successful movement goes beyond the “quietly protest on the side of the road” step.
