Over the last 25 years, he has used culture, art, creative actions and theater in mass actions, popular education, and celebrations.

Solnit is a nonviolent direct action organizer, co-organizing the shutdown of the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999, the shutdown of Financial District of San Francisco the day after the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, and the Flood Wall Street in conjunction with the People’s Climate March. He is the editor/co-author of Globalize Liberation: How to Uproot the System and Build a Better World, Army of None, and The Battle of the Story of the Battle of Seattle.
