“I consider Waging Nonviolence to be the leading resource for people interested in civil resistance… By producing quality journalism informed by a deep understanding of the dynamics of civil resistance, Waging Nonviolence has helped foster a more intelligent conversation about how ordinary people build power and effect change.”
– Erica Chenoweth, political scientist, author of “Why Civil Resistance Works” and professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School

“We have a thousand journalists and ten thousand novelists covering the art, science, and business of making war, and thus it has been for centuries. But though nonviolence is used in far more cases and can work much better, almost no one takes the time to seriously analyze how movements and campaigns work (or don’t). Waging Nonviolence is unique, critically useful–and conducted in the right spirit, equal parts rigor and love.”
– Bill McKibben, author, educator, environmentalist and founder of 350.org

It’ll give you heart and fill you with ideas.”
– Jeff Sharlet, author of “The Family” and “C Street”
