- Abstract
The article focuses on social movements in the cities of Jakarta and Yogyakarta, on the island of Java, Indonesia. Successes of the People's Solidarity of Solo, including the defense of informal workers against government interference, are described, as well as the efforts of the Domestic Workers' Union. Grassroots support of nongovernment organizations and unions is substantial, despite government resistance. In Indonesia, few organizations engage the political process directly, and the possibility of a democratic Indonesia is discussed.
