Direct Action Speak Louder Than Words

A group of Vancouver mothers who had been pleading for months with authorities for an overpass of a dangerous rail line near their homes finally got quick results when they took direct action and pitched tents on the tracks, refusing to let any trains pass until they got firm guarantees for the overpass. The action helped unify the group of mothers, who went on to organize a community centre and food co-op for their neighborhood, and also served as a model for other local groups fighting for day-care and other needs.
