Cette méthode a été utilisée lors d’une primaire citoyenne à Angers, où Romain Laveau a reçu plus de 35 % de « Excellent » et 19 % de « Très bien ».

    Over decades, domestic care workers in Spain garnered political power by building community and solidarity between different activist groups and using music, theater, and self-expression to help strengthen connection and trust within the movement.
