“Gene Sharp (born January 21, 1928) is the founder of the Albert Einstein Institution, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the study of nonviolent action, and is a retired professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.   He is known for his extensive writings on nonviolent struggle, which have influenced numerous anti-government resistance movements around the world.”

Sharp was nominated for the the Nobel Peace Prize.   His 198 non-violent methods of resistance have been used around the world to bring down repressive regimes.   Deposed dictators curse the name of Gene Sharp.

Here’s Raqib’s powerful TED speech.  (This will leave you feeling hopeful and empowered):
