Have we been drowned in too much dystopia? Do these stories destroy hope in the future? We always took dystopias as critical warning signs along the path to a better world. But maybe there is too much?

There might be different ways to measure success. One is economic impact. Another is solidarity created. Did this action create a gateway for people to become involved in direct action resistance. How can these boycotts do more?

During the era of Occupy, there were community pickets at Wal-Mart stores across the country, demanding a living wage for workers. Might this be a way to get people out?

"The idea of mutual aid is much older than its present resurgence. Cooperation, after all, has been fundamental to human history. And mutualism, as symbiotic cooperation is called in biology, is vital to life itself. As the Russian prince turned anarchist Peter Kropotkin argued more than a century ago with the subtitle of his Mutual Aid (1902), it is “a key factor of evolution.”"

"Therefore, it’s essential for pro-democracy movements to thoughtfully and strategically consider how to engage with the judiciary in authoritarian contexts. I argue for adopting a “movement mindset” to litigation. This approach views litigation as an opportunity for building the broader movement and shifting power to the people."
