Will the protest work?

r/

This does come from a liberal standpoint but: are the protests against Trump & Elon really going to change their minds? I mean…just Trump is a stubborn person, will he really find empathy and change what he’s doing?

    Organization and long-term collective action are what affect real political change. Protests are a tactic; part of a larger process.

    Power in Movement is a good book on this topic by Sidney Tarrow.
