"But is this really how change happens?
Many of the critical advances of the last century and a half – the end of slavery, women’s suffrage, the restriction of child labor and implementation of workplace safety standards, and the outlawing of many forms of discrimination – owe less to the legislative endgame that formalized acceptance of these causes and much more to the social movement that put them on the map.
Likewise, on the international scene, an increasing umber of unelected leaders have ceded power not as a result of traditional diplomacy or military maneuvering. Instead, they were ousted through the demands of unarmed mass mobilizations.
