### 🧠 Behavioural Insights

A survey conducted in August-September 2024 indicated a shift in attitudes toward political violence among left-leaning Americans. Prior to the march, 17% supported political violence; by January 18, this figure had risen to 33%. (Brookings) This underscores the importance of reinforcing nonviolent principles and fostering unity within protest movements.
