Recently, several people have been using the phrase “No Business as Usual” to explain the way some individuals and groups have decided to react to oppression around the world.

unREVISE believes the implementation of this slogan is often exactly what is needed today.

Basically, the phrase means that if a government is committing ethnic cleansing, genocide, torture, intentional starving, mass murder, enslavement of others, etc., we who oppose them will not let them go on with “business [or life] as usual,” but we will instead strive to disrupt their lives and activities through protests, boycotts, strikes, shutdowns, and, in some cases, even destruction of property and sabotage.
