Peaceful Protest: 12 Days of Creative Catalysis in Puerto Rico

Broadcast on December 05, 2019
With Zoe Muntaner & Lilia Luciano

This Dialogue will explore the moral outrage expressed by thousands through 12 days of peaceful protests that achieved a historical result. Seemingly overnight, the people of Puerto Rico have chosen not to remain passive and fearful anymore. The fear of losing went away when they lost everything overnight after Hurricane Maria, and as they rose up, they decided quietly, in their interior, that they would not tolerate more of the same. When soon-to-be-former Governor Ricardo Rossello showed that his mind and heart were not aligned with the rest of the people, the post-Maria spirit was not prepared to forgive and forget. Maria changed everything. Presenters will discuss the anatomy and process that allowed the catalysis, how to create meaningful, creative and effective messaging, and how to engage by bridging divides.

The views expressed are specific to the author/speaker and may vary from the perspectives of The Shift Network's participants, staff, or other speakers.
