Body
Bill Moyer (1939-2004) was a US Quaker, anti-nuclear organiser, and lifelong practitioner of nonviolent direct action. He co-founded the Movement for a New Society (MNS) in 1971, a Philadelphia-based network that developed much of the US nonviolent-action training curriculum, and later served as co-coordinator of the Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign. With Robert Swann and others, he edited The Movement for a New Society: 1971-1986 and developed training materials on consensus decision-making, strategic nonviolence, and movement dynamics.
His last major work was Doing Democracy: The MAP Model for Organizing Social Movements (2001), co-authored with Stuart McGehee, and the accompanying Movement Action Plan pamphlet published in 2002 by the NPC Commons Library. The framework emerged from twenty years of work with the anti-nuclear movement and was later applied to the South African anti-apartheid movement, the US civil rights movement, and contemporary racial-justice movements.
