This episode The Right to Protest explores the fundamental American value of protesting which predates America itself.  As the next generation of voters begin to take to the streets we will explore:

  • How restrictions on the right to protest triggered the American Revolution
  • How this generation is following in the footsteps of MLK and Susan B. Anthony
  • The tragic death of George Floyd and how his name has become a symbol of the racial injustice in America
  • Just how big is this current civil rights movement? (Spoiler alert: It's BIG!)
  • How police have used violence and extreme measures to crack down on protests against police brutality
  • How protestors are being treated as "guilty until proven innocent" by police
  • Precautions to take to protest in these uncertain times

In the face of a system looking to drown us out, are we willing to make our voices heard?
