HKS political scientist and co-director of the Crowd Counting Consortium\, Erica Chenoweth\, and Research Project Man ager at the Nonviolent Action Lab\, Soha Hammam\, have been keeping track o f when\, where\, and how civilian protests are occurring in the U.S in resp onse to the major policy shifts introduced by the current administration. D espite popular perception\, their research has shown that in contrast to th e mass marches of 2017\, protests are far more numerous and frequent but\, given the current political realities\, have also shifted to more powerful forms of resistance. Economic noncooperation – withholding labor power and purchasing power – appear to be a strategic and more viable method given un certainty about the respect for First Amendment rights\, the weaponization of government against political opponents\, and the increasingly surveilled and high-risk nature of in person protest.  Come learn about their current research in the context of democratic movements throughout the world which \, they argue\, is proving to be “savvy\, diversifying and probably just ge tting started.”  Lunch will be provided. Registration Required.
