Hi Y’all! 👋🏽
2020 was the year of protests, but the summer of 2024 is shaping up to be just as electric. Campus’ are filled with young folks speaking out for justice and liberation despite the violent crackdown by police and counter protestors.
My conversation with Taj Smith and Emily Weltman about digital activism is more relevant today then when we had it in March! The ceasefire comments are even more prescient today. As we gear up for a hot summer of activism, this listen is a nice balm for the skin before we get out there. The second half of our conversation includes:
- Speaking up on Big Tech dominated channels
- Moving digital activism into the “real world”
- Using the grassroots techniques of voter outreach for digital activism
- Regulating and validating the feelings come up while posting online
- How to be in spaces where people disagree with you
I hope you enjoy the conversation!
