Approaching 365 days of protest in Georgia

October 28th marked one year of #protest in #Georgia. What does this milestone mean to #citizens? Georgians kept vigil over the past year with nightly blockades outside #parliament. With or without party leaders, people organized across towns and regions, rallying 300,000+ supporters online and building practical solidarity: rides, shelter, food, legal support. Their endurance shows that the Georgian people know exactly what it is that they are fighting for, and that they will continue to defend their #EU future until the end. 🔎 #RE-ENGAGE looks at how civic operating systems born in hybrid regimes can sustain long movements: https://re-engaging.eu/ Maia Machavariani: Director of Programs at the Eastern European Centre for Multiparty Democracy (EECMD) #GeorgiaProtests #GeorgianDream #Tbilisi #EUintegration #EUaccession #Democracy #CivilSociety #Geopolitics
