Four Bernie Sanders political activists and national DNC delegates from Colorado join Nigel Aves and Rational Alchemy in a Political Alchemy - The Revolution Continues. The discussion focuses on what Bernie and his movement is all about, but more importantly where it is headed. The panelists tell of their experiences at the DNC in Philadelphia in an unvarnished just-the-way-it-was fashion. Nigel gives a distinctly British perspective, view and questioning of the American political process that puts the Bernie Revolution into sharp contrast and gives a thoughtful framing of the Political Revolution.
Political activists are individuals who engage in actions and campaigns to promote specific political causes, advocate for social change, and raise awareness about particular issues. They often work outside of established political structures to influence public opinion, government policies, and societal norms. Political activists can be found across the political spectrum and advocate for a wide range of causes, including civil rights, environmental protection, gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare reform, and more.
Activists use various methods to achieve their goals, such as:
- Protests and Demonstrations: Organizing and participating in marches, rallies, and demonstrations to draw attention to their cause and demand change.
- Civil Disobedience: Engaging in acts of nonviolent civil disobedience, such as sit-ins or blockades, to challenge unjust laws or policies.
- Advocacy and Lobbying: Meeting with lawmakers, government officials, and other influential figures to advocate for policy changes.
- Social Media and Online Activism: Using social media platforms and online campaigns to raise awareness, mobilize supporters, and create a virtual community around their cause.
- Community Organizing: Working within local communities to build support, organize events, and foster a sense of solidarity around their political goals.
- Legal Actions: Filing lawsuits and using the legal system to challenge discriminatory practices or unjust policies.
- Public Awareness and Education: Conducting public awareness campaigns, workshops, and educational events to inform the public about their cause and the need for change.
Political activists play a crucial role in shaping public discourse and driving societal progress. They often challenge the status quo and work to create a more just and equitable society. However, their actions may also spark debates and disagreements, as their causes can be contentious and may face opposition from different quarters.
