Sicilianews24.it: Il potere della protesta è in pericolo: attivisti veterani chiedono il tuo sostegno.

“Stiamo vivendo ciò che alcuni chiamano una sorta di chiusura della piazza pubblica negli Stati Uniti e nel mondo,” afferma l’attivista ambientale esperto André Carothers. Insieme ad Annie Leonard, ex direttrice esecutiva di Greenpeace USA, hanno co-scritto un nuovo libro sulla storia delle proteste, sul loro valore e sulle sfide che affrontano oggi.
Il libro, intitolato *Protest: Respect It. Defend It. Use It.*, è stato scritto per “ricordare ai lettori il ruolo fondamentale che le proteste hanno avuto nel conseguire molti dei progressi che oggi diamo per scontati,” spiega Leonard.
Il Potere delle Proteste
La Giornata della Terra del 1970 ha visto la partecipazione attiva di circa il 10% della popolazione statunitense a una delle più grandi manifestazioni della storia del paese. Questo ha portato all’adozione di numerose leggi ambientali che oggi potremmo considerare una normalità. Le proteste mettono in luce come nascono i movimenti e come influenzano il discorso pubblico, conducendo a queste vittorie significative.

The power of protest is at risk: veteran activists are asking for your support.

“We are living what some call a kind of closure of public space in the United States and around the world,” says environmental activist André Carothers. Together with Annie Leonard, former executive director of Greenpeace USA, they have co-written a new book on the history of protests, their value, and the challenges they face today.
The book, titled *Protest: Respect It. Defend It. Use It.*, is written to “remind readers of the fundamental role that protests have played in achieving many of the advances we today take for granted,” Leonard explains.
The Power of Protest
Earth Day 1970 saw the active participation of approximately 10% of the US population in one of the largest demonstrations in the country’s history. This led to the adoption of numerous environmental laws that we today might consider a normality. Protests highlight how movements are born and how they influence public discourse, leading to these significant victories.

Framing environmental deterioration as the result of poor individual choices—littering, leaving the lights on when we leave a room, failing to car-pool—not only distracts us from identifying and demanding change from the real drivers of environmental decline. It also removes these issues from the political realm to the personal, implying that the solution is in our personal choices rather than in better policies, business practices, and structural context.
