Article title: Agenda Seeding: How 1960s Black Protests Moved Elites, Public Opinion and Voting Article Abstract How do stigmatized minorities advance agendas when confronted with hostile majorities? Elite theories of influence posit marginal groups exert little power. I propose the concept of agenda seeding to describe how activists use methods like disruption to capture the attention of media and overcome political asymmetries. Further, I hypothesize protest tactics influence how news organizations frame demands. Evaluating black-led protests between 1960 and 1972, I find nonviolent activism, particularly when met with state or vigilante repression, drove media coverage, framing, congressional speech, and public opinion on civil rights. Counties proximate to nonviolent protests saw presidential Democratic vote share increase 1.6–2.5%. Protester-initiated violence, by contrast, helped move news agendas, frames, elite discourse, and public concern toward “social control.” In 1968, using rainfall as an instrument, I find violent protests likely caused a 1.5–7.9% shift among whites toward Republicans and tipped the election. Elites may dominate political communication but hold no monopoly.

I’ve been studying civil rights protests for 20 years. With new mobilization against Trump’s agenda, I’m sharing a thread summarizing my research on how nonviolent & violent actions by 1960s activists and police influenced media, elites, public opinion & voters. 1/ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Nah it's money to fund tax breaks for the rich. Nazification is necessary for their foreign investors to profit from our demise.

Biden secured the ceasefire. Get real! Trump would never help people.

Supply-side Jesus? Hate that guy.

That's what he was paid to do.

There would have been unnecessary violence before Congress, packed with the right people to put trump in office, did so. I'll admit this long game is bs tho.

Living? Keanu Reeves. He's known for being super chill and kind. Otherwise Mr. Rogers...

Content from x, meta, and ccp is being systematically banned across many subreddits and I couldn't be happier!

How do we reach out to the people that haven't dumped other social media? It's important we give a differing view to keep those being radicalized to a minimum.

Anything to keep them from something terrible.

Just got banned from r/workersstrikeback on reddit for criticizing the ccp in an obvious ccp propaganda post.
Stay skeptical. Stay safe.

Accidentally?
