As we venture further and further into this political era, the right to voice opinions and advocate for change become more pressing. Whether we turn to Roe v. Wade protests or Black Lives Matter marches, the utilization of 1st Amendment rights has never been more crucial. So, this quarter we encourage you to explore the meaning behind the Right to Protest and and why it is so prevalent in the past and vital for the future. Don't be afraid to reflect on your own beliefs and experiences to elevate your writing!
