Art Attack: Protest Takes Aim at the Climate Crisis
Tom Einhorn and Catherine Corrigall-Brown on messes with a message
Penalty or Payoff? Diversity of Tactics and Resource Mobilization Among Environmental Organizations
Environmental nongovernmental organizations (ENGOs) need resources in order to mount campaigns and ensure their stability over time. What is the most effective strategy to attract these resources? Building upon research on social movement strategy and resource mobilization, we examine how a diversity of income sources, tactics, and issue focus affects three measures of mobilization outcomes: income, staff, and members. We examine these relationsh…
Indivisible Against Trump: Coalition Strategies and Movement Success Across City Contexts
Coalitions can be critical to social movement success. This article compares thirty-five Indivisible groups founded after the 2017 Women’s March in ten U.S. cities. Through analysis of Facebook pages and interviews with activists, I find that groups that work more often in coalition mobilize more events and are more likely to survive. In cities with long histories of activism, groups tend to engage in more coalitions and a particular type of deep…
Channeling advocacy? Assessing how funding source shapes the strategies of environmental organizations
All non–governmental organizations (NGOs) rely on funding to support their work. But how does the source of funding shape the types of advocacy groups engage in? Using novel panel data collected by the Environmental Funders Network, this research examines how funding from government, foundations, business, and members shape the advocacy work of environmental NGOs (ENGOs) in the UK. Past research suggests that elite funding sources channel groups …
Does Talk Lead to Action? An Examination of the Relationship between Debate and Funding for NGOs in Canada
All organizations, including nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), need funding to survive and fulfill their mandates. What is the best strategy for securing that funding? Should groups work to attract government attention and be a focus of government debate or should they avoid this type of scrutiny? This article uses innovative data to systematically examine how being the subject of debate in parliament is related to NGO funding for Indigenous,…
Concentrating or Sprinkling? Federal Funding for Indigenous, Women's, and Environmental NGOs in Canada, 1972-2014
Governments have a long history of funding nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and their programs. While there is much work describing this funding, there has been little research systematically examining how the political and economic context shapes the level and type of funding NGOs receive. This article examines the factors that predict levels of government funding for NGOs over time, focusing on spending for interest groups in three areas, I…

What Gets Covered? An Examination of Media Coverage of the Environmental Movement in Canada
This article analyzes press releases from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Greenpeace (GP) to assess how their tactics and frames affect the amount of coverage they receive in The Globe and Mail and National Post from 2000 to 2010. While it is clear that some tactics are more likely to garner media coverage, the full range of tactics and frames are not effective for all groups. For example, calling to the public to engage in a social issue leads…
Funding for Social Movements
Funding is critical for social movements. Our understanding of the relationship between social movements and funders has been shaped by broader theories used to understand movement dynamics. This review examines our changing understanding of the role of funding for movements, paying particular attention to the relative costs and benefits of funding from different groups of actors, such as constituents, foundations, governments, and corporations. …

Media exposure and the engaged citizen: How the media shape political participation
Media exposure is widely known to increase institutional forms of political participation such as voting. Less well understood is whether media exposure also affects protest, a less institutional form of engagement. This paper examines the mechanics through which this relationship operates by considering the media's direct and indirect effect on voting and protesting, via political trust, efficacy, and knowledge. We make these comparisons by anal…
From the Balconies to the Barricades, and Back? Trajectories of Participation in Contentious Politics
Scholars have long been interested in explaining why some individuals engage in civil society through acts of protest while others do not. However, what happens after individuals are involved? Using a nationally representative panel data set that follows Americans from 1965 until 1997, I show that almost half of participants either engage in ‘individual abeyance’, moving in and out of engagement over time, or disengage. I examine the role of soci…
Picturing Protest: The Visual Framing of Collective Action by First Nations in Canada
Images of collective action shape public understanding of social movement campaigns and issues. Modern media includes more images than ever before, and these images are remembered longer and are more likely to elicit emotional responses than are textual accounts. Yet when it comes to media coverage of collective action, existing research considers only the written accounts. This means that little is known about the extent to which images of colle…

Patterns of Protest: Trajectories of Participation in Social Movements
Patterns of Protest: Trajectories of Participation in Social Movements
Asked to name an activist, many people think of someone like Cesar Chavez or Rosa Parks—someone uniquely and passionately devoted to a cause. Yet, two-thirds of Americans report having belonged to a social movement, attended a protest, or engaged in some form of contentious political activity. Activism, in other words, is something that the vast majority of people engage in. This book examines these more common experiences to ask how and when peo…
Explaining time trends in public opinion: Attitudes towards immigration and immigrants
Why does public opinion change over time? Much debate on this question centers on whether it is caused by the replacement of people or by individuals changing how they think. Theoretical approaches to this question have emphasized the importance of birth cohort succession, generational differences, and changing macro-economic conditions. In this article, we consider the extent to which these processes can account for changing attitudes towards im…
Packaging Protest: Media Coverage of Indigenous People's Collective Action
Les personnes autochtones au Canada se sont lancées dans des centaines d'actions collectives. Utilisant la littérature sur les nouvelles et sur les événements collectifs, nous examinons d'une façon systématique les facteurs associés avec le nombre d'articles, leur placement sur la premiére page, et l'inclusion de photos. Nous trouvons que l'augmentation de la taille ou de la longueur d'un événement n'améliore pas sa couverture. Quand il s'agit de…
Nationalism and Media Coverage of Indigenous People's Collective Action in Canada
Indigenous peoples in Canada have engaged in hundreds of collective action events. The media are the key means through which the general public learns about these actions. However, the media do not simply mirror events. Instead, coverage tends to emphasize certain aspects of indigenous peoples’ collective action events while overlooking others. While early research emphasized the tendency of the mainstream media to portray these events as violent…
A Battle for Authenticity: An Examination of the Constraints on Anti-Iraq War and Pro-Invasion Tactics
Social movements are arenas where individuals can voice concerns about politics, culture, and social change. Movements work to create frames and collective identities that resonate with the public and bind participants together. However, movement participants are not always completely free to cultivate and adopt frames and identities. The emergence of countermovements, in particular, can fundamentally affect these tactics. However, we find that f…
Explaining the Puzzle of Homeless Mobilization: An Examination of Differential Participation
In this article, the authors examine participation in protests about homelessness by an unlikely set of participants-the homeless themselves. Through an analysis of data derived from 400 structured interviews with homeless individuals in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Tucson, the authors examine why and to what extent some homeless individuals, and not others, participate in movement-sponsored protest activities. In addition, the authors assess the d…

Framing the French Riots: A Comparative Study of Frame Variation
In an attempt to advance understanding of frame variation and the factors that account for it, we conduct a comparative study of how the Fall 2005 French "riots" were framed diagnostically and prognostically. We examine these framing activities across a diverse set of actors and assess the role of ideological, contextual, attributional and temporal factors hypothesized to account for the observed variation. The data come from a content analysis o…
Coalitions and Political Context: U.S. Movements Against Wars in Iraq
Although social movements in the United States are staged by coalitions, the politics of movement coalitions and the internal and external factors that affect their formation, maintenance, and dissolution are understudied. Here, we use the 2002-2003 movement against the impending war in Iraq to refocus analytical attention and sharpen theory on social movement coalitions. We contend that external circumstances, or political opportunities, are cri…
