The Civil Rights Movement in the US during the 60's, when, due to their frustration with the slow progress of traditional electoral means, activists like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks employed nonviolent direct action. The Montgomery Bus Boycott showcased the power of collective action. Another example is the LGBTQ+ rights movement, particularly the Stonewall riots in 1969, characterized by spontaneous, direct action against police harassment at the Stonewall Inn
