Over the past four years, I’ve posted Resistance Timelines a few times to this site (and a truncated one is included in the book). If you’re interested in how I define Resistance, see this post.
As the protests that erupted after George Floyd was murdered continue in many cities, Putnam, Pressman and Chenoweth have reported in the Washington Post that “It is the largest sustained mobilization in the United States in our lifetimes.” Here is a timeline that starts with the mid-term elections in 2018 and includes these recent protests. With a National Strike for Black Lives called for July 20th, the 2020 March on Washington called for August 28th, and expected as the election approaches in November, there is no question that we are living through an age of Resistance.
