Understanding EA community beliefs around protest
Context: As part of a research project funded by the EA Infrastructure Fund, we're looking into the effectiveness of protest movements as a possible intervention for various EA cause areas. This survey will in-part inform our research priorities as ultimately we want to address the key uncertainties that exist, as well as building a strong evidence base.
