This database, prepared by Swarthmore College, is an extensive exploration of nonviolent action.
In using this, you may want to ask the following questions: what are the criteria they used to choose the movements and what might they have added to supplement the robustness of the analyses?

We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?

Your article on: Sunagawa Farmers Prevent Expansion of Tachikawa Air Force Base 1956-57. Is a little off. I was stationed at Feamcom AFB (Tachikawa, Japan) in January 1955 to December 1956 The riots started in early 1955 and went through 1957. Thousand of japanese rioters beat drums lite bonfires and threw rocks onto the roofs of our quanset huts where we were quartered. The purposed runway expansion wasn’t the only reason riots occured. Many JN’s (Japanese Nationals) worked on base) if one got fired for any reason a riot was organized. They didn’t need much of a reason to riot. I was required to spend several weeks training in Air Force riot control school. Fortunately we were only called out twice and these times the rioters dispersed on their own. The japanese police handled the riots most of the time. There were other bad things that happened at Tachikawa that didn’t involve JN’s only GI’s that made my two year stay at Tachikawa a living hell!
