“Boycott is a widely understood form of social, economic, and political action.”
Steve Crawshaw, Small Acts of Resistance: How Courage, Tenacity, and Ingenuity Can Change the World

“One of the extraordinary things about human events is that the unthinkable becomes thinkable.”
Steve Crawshaw, Small Acts of Resistance: How Courage, Tenacity, and Ingenuity Can Change the World
