In 1985, a young South African named Mkhuseli Jack led a movement against the legalized discrimination known as apartheid.  Their nonviolent mass action, notably a devastating consumer boycott, awakened whites to black grievances and fatally weakened business support for apartheid.

In April 1940, German military forces invaded Denmark. Danish leaders adopted a strategy of “resistance disguised as collaboration” - undermining enemy objectives by negotiating, delaying, and obstructing Nazi demands.  Underground resistance organized sabotage and strikes, and rescued all but a handful of Denmark’s 7,000 Jews.

How can we, the 99%, apply their strategies to today’s struggle for equity?
