Democratic Resistance refers to the efforts made by individuals or groups to uphold and protect democratic values and institutions in the face of authoritarianism or oppression. This can include protests, advocacy, and civil disobedience aimed at promoting free speech, fair elections, and human rights. Historically, movements like the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and the Solidarity Movement in Poland exemplify Democratic Resistance. These movements sought to challenge unjust laws and practices, mobilizing citizens to demand change and restore democratic governance.
