Understanding this quote
The quote says that large numbers of people can bring about change when they unite and peacefully ask for the same thing. Its emphasis is on collective action: one person may have limited influence, but many people expressing a shared demand can make it harder to ignore. “Peaceful” also sets a clear limit on how this change should be pursued.
