In 1970, in Memphis, Tennessee, a sanitation worker’s strike successfully challenged discriminatory hiring policies and improved the conditions of city workers. The protest was led by Ralph Abernathy and supported by Martin Luther King Jr., who came to the city to show his solidarity. Through organizing strikes, protests and marches,the sanitation workers achieved better pay and working conditions. This event is now considered a crucial turning point in the American Labor Movement.

An example of a successful local policy change through protest is the movement against police brutality that sprang up in response to a number of highly publicized cases of deadly use of force by law enforcement officers. Protests around the country encouraged policymakers to change laws restricting use of force, require increased scrutiny for potential misconduct, and implement policies allowing for independent monitoring and investigation of encounters between civilians and police.
