We may be distant, but we won’t be quiet: New forms of protest in a time of social distance. As COVID-19 continues to inflame all existing inequities, we need to confront power more than ever. Yet, opportunities to use our skills and experience to disrupt and protest are limited by our need to keep each other safe via social distancing.

Our panelists will discuss creative ways they’ve protested since the US outbreak. From car rallies to rent strikes plus some hush-hush nightime public art plans, come get inspired to think of new ways to fight for ourselves and everyone who is vulnerable during a time when staying quiet is even less of an option than ever.
