Nonviolent action refers to a range of tactics used to bring about social or political change without the use of physical violence. These actions aim to disrupt the status quo and pressure authorities through methods that do not involve harming individuals.

Examples of nonviolent action include:

• Civil disobedience: Deliberately breaking unjust laws (e.g., refusing to pay taxes, sit-ins).
• Protests and demonstrations: Marches, rallies, vigils.
• Strikes: Workers withholding their labor.
• Boycotts: Refusing to buy goods or services.
• Symbolic acts: Wearing armbands, fasting.

Sabotage, imprisonment, beatings, and shootings are all forms of violence or coercion, not nonviolent action.
