Details
- “Unions, student groups, collectives, and political factions formed a coalition known as the Unified National Leadership of the Uprising. Decisions were made within this body and a rotating leadership system was established in the spirit of representation but also to respond to the frequent arrest of leaders.” (line 187)
- The uprising it led “was centered on the notion of “people’s power” as a form of popular and revolutionary consensus”, on the foundation of years of grassroots organizing (line 187).
