This month we’ll talk about civil resistance and how civil disobedience have succeeded or failed historically, seeking context for our current moment. What worked in the past, and what do we need now: protests, boycotts, tax resistance? What roles do institutions play: colleges and universities, the media, the business community? And what does the moment demand? What strategies and tactics work?
Special Guests:
- Graham Platner, lead organizer for Acadia Action, Hancock County branch of 16 Counties for Courage
- Alex Newell Taylor, Co-founder, Sweet Fern MDI; Distributed Organizer for National Nurses United; former Deputy Director of Voter Engagement at Second Chances Florida
- Vanessa Williamson, Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at Brookings
