White text on black background with a small 50501 logo at the bottom. Text reads: What is the 3.5% Rule? Political scientist Erica Chenoweth (they/them) studied over 300 violent and nonviolent campaigns. They found that when 3.5% of a population joins in a โpeakโ action, movements have been highly likely to succeed at โmaximalistโ goals, such as removing a national leader. The 3.5% rule helps us imagine whatโs possible. In the U.S. thatโs about 11.7 million people or about 107 people in every city and town. We donโt need everyone. We just need enough.

White text on black background with a small 50501 logo at the bottom. Text reads: The 3.5% Rule; Maximalist Goals; Historically, when 3.5% of a population has joined together in non-violent action, success at achieving โmaximalistโ goals has often followed. Maximalist goals are the most ambitious demands a movement can make such as removing a national leader from office, ending an occupying force, or achieving territorial independence. These goals seek to change who holds power or control, rather than making policy reforms within the existing system.

White text on black background with a small 50501 logo at the bottom. Text reads: The 3.5% Rule; 3.5% is based on peak participation, not cumulative participation; Many people mistakenly think the rule refers to everyone who ever joined the movement. Chenowethโs statistic is about how many people were involved at the movementโs largest moment of visible, act of resistance. The rule is descriptive, not prescriptive; Chenoweth only noticed the 3.5% pattern after the fact, when asked how many people it takes to win. The number was not part of the original hypothesis or a forecast; it emerged from the data. Source: Erica Chenoweth, โQuestions, Answers, and Some Cautionary Updates Regarding the 3.5% Ruleโ (2020)
Youโve probably seen people mention the 3.5% Rule. But do you know what it really means? 1/

July 15th 1944: โItโs utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too will end, that peace and tranquillity will return once more. In the meantime, I must hold on to my ideals. Perhaps the day will come when Iโll be able to realise them.โ
