These viral moments—often ignited by the public’s reaction to an extreme injustice or draconian policy—happen with greater frequency now across a multitude of issues.

------------------------------------------------------------

NPQ contributor Jeanne Bell covers the new report ([link removed]) , which includes case studies and practical guidance for seizing and thriving through a viral movement moment.
