Description

Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams talk about protest, progress, and movement ecology, exploring how diverse ways of engaging modern movements for social change work together to accomplish collective liberation.

Giving practical advice from personal experience, Kelley and Terry walk listeners through options for engaging protests, some theories of change that often show up during direct action events, and ways to participate in supporting progress even if hauling around a bullhorn isn’t really your thing.
