1) From Google search: How change happens
a) Renato Cardoso:
How Change Happens:
Two step process: dissatisfaction/anger emotions
followed by whole-hearted commitment (mind, body, spirit, wholeness,
resources - tools people, money, expertise - and, finally, speech -
speak out!) to surpass Resistance:

c) Marianne Williamson on Occupy: Keep it smart, keep
it nonviolent, keep it growing

ps My original hope was to find a ?two-minute seminar
from her that suggests something like 'when 11% of a population 'get
it' every-one follows' - but I've not refound that yet . . .

Movement Action Plan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Movement Action
Plan is a strategic model
for waging nonviolent social
movements developed by Bill
Moyer, a US social
change activist.
The MAP, initially developed by Moyer in the late 1970s, uses case
studies of successful social movements to illustrate eight
distinct stages through social movements' progress, and is designed
to help movement activists choose the most effective tactics
and strategies
to match their movements' current stage.
The eight stages
Moyer describes the eight stages as:
- Critical social problem exists
- Prove failure of official institutions
- Ripening conditions
- Take off
- Perception of failure
- Majority public opinion
- Success
- Continuation

3) International Centre of Nonviolence , (Sydney Australia)
Video of founding event February 2013:
http://www.nonviolence.org.au/video-gallery/
Launched on 2
October 2012 when celebrating UN International Day of Nonviolence and
commemorating the anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth:
Our vision is of a nonviolent society based on the celebration of our common humanity and of the natural environment that sustains us. We will work to make strategic interventions in education – development of educators and curricula, teaching and writing – that challenge structural violence, enable learning untainted by violence and advance a culture of nonviolence. It works through reflective practice and focused research to develop and disseminate its understanding, and to build networks of educators with a similar vision and commitment

Book: 'Nonviolence versus
capitalism' War Resisters International, London 2001
– on line at:
Summary
Nonviolent action is the most promising method of moving beyond capitalism to a more humane social and economic system. How can this be achieved? Nonviolence versus Capitalism offers a systematic approach, starting with an analysis of capitalism from the viewpoint of nonviolence, outlining nonviolent economic alternatives and describing what is involved in a nonviolence strategy. A check list for activists is proposed and used to assess diverse campaigns, including workers' struggles, sabotage, environmental campaigns, social defence, global campaigns and economic alternatives.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
