Protest Power: Does Acceptable Protest Exist?

Description

Meeting Method:
In-Person

Kneeling during the anthem.  Breaking a store window.  Blocking traffic with a human chain.  Shutting down a store. Interrupting a presidential candidate. Disrupting a SCOTUS hearing. Occupying the lawn of a mayor.  All of these have been tactics of protest we’ve seen in 2018. Yet, the debate rages on- what protest is acceptable, and what is not? Is violence ever welcome or necessary in the revolution?  And is the question of the “acceptability” of protest beside the point- and irrelevant for progress? Together with our guest, we will debate these topics not just in theory, but applied to the social issues of greatest importance to us.
