Some studies reveal that protesting is as or more effective than voting when it comes to creating positive change.

Yet, the majority of politicians continue to push the vote, while down playing the rights and responsibility to peacefully protest. There is no order of importance when it comes to making sure that all voices are is heard in a "free society."

There is a reason that protest is often frowned upon by those in power, just like there is a reason that the right to protest is under attack. Here are 10 of them...

Top 10 most influential and effective protests in US History:

1. The Racial Justice Protests of 2020
2. March for Our Lives (2018)
3. No Dakota Access Pipeline (2016-2017)
4. Occupy Wall Street (2011)
5. March on the Pentagon/ Kent State Massacre (1967-1970)
6. The Stonewall Uprising (1969)
7. Alabama Civil Rights Marches (1963-1965)
8. The Woman's Suffrage Parade (1913)

History

Founded as Mil­wau­kee Mobi­liza­tion for Sur­vival in March of 1977, we were part of a national net­work of national peace and jus­tice groups orga­nized around the issues of nuclear weapons, nuclear power, the esca­lat­ing arms race and the atten­dent decline in fund­ing for human needs. National Mobi­liza­tion for Sur­vival grew to include over 125 peace and jus­tice groups before its national office closed in 1992.

In Jan­u­ary 1996 we affil­i­ated with National Peace Action, which had been formed from the merger of SANE and the Nuclear Freeze Cam­paign. It is the largest grass­roots peace and dis­ar­ma­ment group in the coun­try. In 1999 we became Peace Action Wisconsin to reflect our statewide scope and membership.

Work­ing with a broad spec­trum of com­mu­nity groups, Peace Action has been in the fore­front of build­ing coali­tions around pro­gres­sive issues, serv­ing as a clear­ing­house for peace activ­i­ties and tak­ing the lead in orga­niz­ing local action on inter­na­tional issues.

Peace Action Wisconsin owns its own build­ing, the Peace Action Cen­ter, which serves as office space for sev­eral peace, envi­ron­men­tal and social change orga­ni­za­tions and as a gath­er­ing place for com­mu­nity events and meet­ings. The Cen­ter offers a resource library and a Peace Store.
