People Over Plastic, Episode 3 - Protest with Candice Fortin
One of the most fundamental freedoms in American democracy is the freedom of expression and assembly. In other words: our right to protest. This freedom ensures everyone can speak out and mobilize without fear of censorship or retaliation. It allows everyday people to challenge disinformation, hold those in power accountable, and rally together for changes that protect both people and the planet. But censorship, criminalization, and complacency threaten the fight for equity and justice, at a time when direct action is more important than ever.
