Why direct action?

You may well ask: "Why direct action? 

Why sit-ins, marches and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better
path?" 

You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this
is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action
seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a
community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced
to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that
it can no longer be ignored.

Also, this is a secret so don't tell anyone but it's fun and
very empowering.
