When an individual is protesting society's refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest confers dignity on him.-Bayard Rustin, American leader
In this episode which is definitely relative for our times here in America we will touch upon the following topics through the lens of what Luis experienced in the Portland Oregon protest.
- Firsthand stories of the Portland protest movement that few others can tell
- Unfiltered analysis of police violence, media manipulation, and the activist left
- Personal reflections on what resistance actually costs — and why I still believe it’s worth it
Luis is the author of the book Antifascist: A Memoir Of The Portland Uprising 2016-2020
