As activists look to the challenges ahead they are also looking back to learn from the lessons of the past. Some are asking the tough questions.
What strategies and tactics are working and which are not? What are the long term goals and objectives of the movement? Is there really a cohesive movement to speak of? When is protest effective and when is it merely symbolic? Should organizers cooperate with local authorities? Do organizers have a responsibility to create a safe space for dissent or is it really a protest if you have to get a permit to march?
These and other important questions are part of the current discussion within the activist community. Links to related postings:
