The Propaganda Movement was a peaceful campaign in the late 19th century that aimed to promote reforms in the Philippines, which was under Spanish colonial rule at the time. Led by Filipino intellectuals and reformists like Jose Rizal, the movement used literature, advocacy, and civic organizations to peacefully work for equality, representation in Spanish government, and basic liberties for Filipinos. The movement's main publications included the magazine La Solidaridad and Rizal's novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, which exposed abusive practices under Spanish colonialism. However, Spanish authorities suppressed the movement by exiling Rizal and other leaders. This contributed to a shift towards more radical ideals championed by figures
