Toolkits have been circulated during many major protests, such as the Occupy Wall Street protests of 2011, Black Lives Matter of 2020, Hong Kong protests of 2019, India’s anti-CAA protests of 2019-20 and during several others related to environment.
Toolkit is used by journalists, teachers, academics and business heads to have resources for team members at one place, formulate plans and coordinate faster execution of projects.
As opposed to protests that were earlier driven by speeches and pamphlets, digital toolkits have evolved as an effective tool to ensure that large protests do not splinter. Many organisations, from UN bodies to NGOs, use them regularly.
