I'm not really asking you to look it up or anything, but this gets parroted around a lot, and I wonder if there's actually any data to really support it or if it's just a statement that kinda sounds nice.

I mean maybe not data but it's telling that almost every successful movement goes beyond the "quietly protest on the side of the road" step.

This post itself provides a new data point as a piece of evidence to support that claim. There is a news article written about it, and we are talking about it.
