Michelle A. Rhee, left, the chancellor of the District of Columbia's public schools, talks to
angry parents last week after a
meeting to gather community
reaction to a plan for closing some schools.
«In Part 1 of 2, Los Angeles artist and activist Kysa Johnson talks about: the various platforms and outlets for her activism, and how donating money, signing petitions and watching protest - based movies gave way to attending the initial protest in L.A., the Women's March in Washington, a protest at LAX airport, artist political group
meetings, [and] phone calls to Congress; how her «being active» was a necessary
reaction to the extreme change in the political landscape, and how protests... matter because the visibility and solidarity of resistance is a key arm of resistance that lets those in power know that you're
angry.»
