About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of the right to protest and its historical significance in achieving civil rights.

Peaceful protest is four times more effective than violent movements at toppling authoritarian regimes — and every right we take for granted, from wheelchair ramps to same-sex marriage, was won by someone who refused to stay quiet. Annie Leonard, creator of The Story of Stuff and former Executive Director of Greenpeace US, and activist André Carothers join Care More Be Better to make the case that the right to protest is not a radical idea — it is the foundational democratic idea, and it is under attack right now. From the Section 504 disability rights sit-ins to glacier funerals in Iceland to SLAPP suits targeting Greenpeace, this conversation covers the history, the mechanics, and the urgent stakes of protecting peaceful dissent.
