Protesting can be emotionally fulfilling but it isn’t always politically successful.
In Changemaker: A Data-Driven Guide to Being an Effective Activist, Lisa Mueller draws on political science to explain what can turn a protest into a catalyst for social change.
She and Aaron discuss tempering the impulse to act with strategic thinking, why broad coalitions need focused messaging, and how important non-violence is.
As the U.S. presidential election is just a few weeks away, they also touch on what people should be thinking about now ahead of a potential Trump win.
