Theory of Nonviolent Action

The Theory of Nonviolent Action explains how social and political change can be achieved without violence. It involves three key components: the strategic use of nonviolent methods (like protests or strikes), the psychological impact on opponents and supporters, and the structure of power that sustains or resists change. By organizing and mobilizing people peacefully, activists can challenge unjust systems, weaken the authority of oppressors, and create pressure for reform. This approach emphasizes moral action, resilience, and the importance of gaining widespread support to successfully bring about change without conflict.
