From the Bishopsgate Institute:
The world has always seen protest and dissent but in these difficult and
changing times, how can the voices that challenge authority really be
heard? How can a message reach the widest number of people? Which forms
of resistance have the greatest impact? How can support be generated and
who is really listening? From protests, rallies and direct action to
worldwide digital petitions and 'armchair activism', our panel of
experienced campaigners discuss methods of protest in today's modern
world.
Speakers included Madeline Carroll (Campaigns Director, 38 Degrees),
Trenton Oldfield (This is Not A Gateway), Nadine El-Enany (Birkbeck,
University of London and Defend the Right to Protest) and Gobi Sivanthan
(Individual activist, Hunger Striker outside London Olympics). The
event was chaired by Hugh Muir (Guardian).
