Agents of Change and Nonviolent Action* Nonviolent action is a way for ordinary people to fight for their rights‚ freedom‚ and justice. It is frequently associated with moral or ethical nonviolence‚ but I will address it here as a distinct phenomenon‚ separate from any moral or ethical underpinnings‚ to expand on how it works as a pragmatic way to exert leverage in a conflict.
