REGISTER TO RECEIVE YOUR LINK TO ATTEND VIRTUALLY - Colette &amp; Jerry will be presenting virtually</h3> Why are student protests so dangerous to this administration?Why are they so scared of DEI?Is protesting worth it?Who's listening?And why does Mahmoud Khalil's detention matter?Dr. Colette Morrow has been an agitator, an instigator, a protestor, a mentor, and an educator for decades. She will be sharing her unique perspective as we discuss how women have been on the frontlines of every major social movement in this country, and whether it's been here or abroad, it has been women who have put our bodies on the line for freedom and justice. Jerry Boyle is a renowned Chicago Southside Irish attorney who works with protest organizers and advocates, training protestors and protest organizers alike, and documenting protests. Jerry is not licensed to practice law in IN and so will not be giving any legal advice, but he will be sharing stories from the frontlines and discussing inidspensible truths every protestor or demonstrator needs to know. How do we keep ourselves safe while protesting?CAN we keep ourselves safe?What do we do when our rights are violated?And the big question is: how do we actualize our collective power as women and allies to save our country from its worst self?
