ABSTRACT:
A 2014 study on the socioeconomic stratification of protestors and non-protestors in Milwaukee’s 1970 demonstrations indicated that for all standard indicators of socioeconomic status, protestors occupy a higher economic class than non-protestors (Petrie, 2010). One of the main factors that has been correlated with political engagement is biographic availability which refers to the freedom from constraints (such as finances or time) that allows someone to participate in political activities and can explain the social gap in protests. This study examines whether race, sex or income impacts one’s likelihood to participate in a protest, utilising ANES 2023 data on whether or not respondents have participated in a protest in the past 12 months. The regression found that POC were more likely to participate in protests than Whites and that POC women in particular were more likely than any other group to participate in a protest.
