What do clean air, weekends off, and the freedom to marry whom you love have in common? They were all won through the power of peaceful protest. In this episode, we sit down with legendary activists Annie Marie Leonard (former Executive Director of Greenpeace USA) and André Carothers to discuss their powerful new book, *Protest: Respect It Defend It Use It*. Far from a standard how-to manual, this book is a sweeping, visual celebration of over 40 iconic global campaigns and the collective action that shaped our modern world. Together, we explore the incredible history of public dissent—featuring insights from guest essayists like Jane Fonda and Dolores Huerta—while confronting a chilling modern reality: the rapid rise of anti-protest laws and corporate SLAPP suits designed to silence everyday citizens. Tune in for an inspiring, urgent conversation about why defending our right to speak out is more critical now than ever, and how you can help protect the ultimate cornerstone of democracy.
