Reviving the Constituency for Civil Liberties
A group of us civil liberties activists highlight the civil liberties and human rights aspects of ongoing events like the Farmer Agitations particularly the fall out on free speech, right to protest, proportionality of State response. We particularly need to counter the attempt to discredit outspoken journalists, public intellectuals and even for that matter comedians!
We have decided to have a media education campaign using insta, whatapps, discussion groups, on the farmers issues. We will use this space to "slow down" - so as to be a repository of memes and comments and organis them in a way such that they become a curriculum and resource on Civil Liberties.. Artists, writers, bloggers, insta and youtubers are invited to grow this space or replicate or even create new democratic and civic spaces toward the same objective Just send us a link with a pix or descriptor.
