Field notes
The timeline covers mobilizations from the Revolution through events in 2026, with 74 individual demands represented by filled or empty circles. Visitors can reorder the columns by outcome or return them to chronological order, then open chapters with source references. The page explicitly limits what its comparison can establish: the cases are selected rather than statistically representative, and an outcome is not automatically attributed to the protest.
