#135: What makes a protest movement successful? (ft. James Ozden)

It's Not Just In Your Head

We are joined by the Director of the 'Social Change Lab' to discuss their fascinating report 'What makes a protest movement successful?'.

We dig into all the different factors such as violence vs. nonviolence, size of the movement, diversity of protestors and ask some tough questions about 'elite stakeholders' and philanthropy-funded social change.
