Abstract: | Social movement leaders regularly invoke geographic places—such as cities, parks, and monuments—as symbols in strategic efforts
to frame social movement activity. This article examines how place affects framing processes inside a movement and counterprotester
responses with an ethnography of anti-Iraq War protests in Fayetteville, North Carolina. We show how place attracts the attention
of movement leaders, creates opportunities for local community members to assert their interests, suppresses some frames within
the movement, and encourages opponents to co-opt the meaning of place for their own ends. The multiple meanings of place can
broaden the scope of conflict and reduce a movement leader’s ability unilaterally to define a movement’s agenda and public
image.
