ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Description:
Protesting is one of the most visible and powerful ways we can demand change—but showing up safely and effectively requires preparation. In this episode, Angelica Schell breaks down the essentials: how to protect yourself at a protest, what your legal rights are, and how to respond if they’re violated.
Drawing from resources like the Hong Kong Protester Kit, Stand Up for Science, and the ACLU, we’ll cover what to wear, what to bring, why you might leave your phone at home, and what to say if you're stopped by police. We’ll also talk about how protesting isn’t just a personal act—it’s a collective movement, built on solidarity and shared purpose.
In an era where dissent is under threat, silence is not safety. Tune in to learn what you can do now to speak up, stay safe, and stand strong.
