This approach includes tactics such as symbolic protests, civil disobedience, and economic or political noncooperation. It is often synonymous with civil resistance and is sometimes called nonviolent action. The methods employed can vary widely and may include activities like picketing, vigils, leafletting, and protest art, among others. Importantly, nonviolent resistance emphasizes the refusal to use violence, advocating for peaceful means to effect change. | Nonviolent resistance refers to a range of strategies used to achieve social or political goals without resorting to violence.
