Kenya Finance Bill Protests

The Kenyan Finance Bill 2024 protests demonstrate the incredible potential of nonviolent resistance tactics involving protest and social media. Young people were able to mobilize thousands to the streets, reach over 750 million via social media, and force President Ruto into withdrawing the bill in just a short period of time in June 2024. Despite immense pushback from Kenyan authorities, young Kenyans have successfully fought their way into having a seat at the table.
