After viewing the reading and watching the film activism I define it as a united response to unfair oppression that brings about social change.

The film united in Anger documents the Aids activist movement “Act Up” . The film gives you meaningful and sometimes heartbreaking interviews. It also shows you the rebellion activist side when and what heart they had to actually do some of the things they did . One such act that comes to mind was them being able to make fake id cards to sneak into a television studio. They new they had only a few seconds and get their message out to the world . The message had to be loud and enough to draw attention and curiosity. They executed the plan perfectly so much so that their news clip was actually seen in another country. In depicts the loss , the unity , the struggle , the marching , the signs. It perfectly sums up what activism is about, using their voice to protest the harsh realities they were facing along with power they had while unified. I think too many times we campaign for our own issues and no one else’s and that’s where the togetherness comes into play. Activism includes Standing with each other on multiple issues regarding oppression. This can cause a larger impact in my opinion as power in numbers can enable the message to be delivered globally reaching a larger number of people. I think realistically If I had the time and I do not , but if I were to engage in the activism that is gender justice. I definitely would like to do something that I have not seen before. For instance a round table meeting with people from different ethnic backgrounds, gender, religions what have you and we would discuss gender, racial , news topics while drinking wine and or liquor . If you have already figured it out the tone of my show would be more inviting , friendly perhaps a bar type atmosphere. I feel like every time you see people discussing these type of sensitive issues they are always screaming at each other nothing every gets solved. Why not introduce a few elements into the equation while discussing to make things interesting. it may not even have to be an alcoholic beverage it could be a board game I am just trying to cut the tension and even the playing fields a bit . That is something I haven’t really seen done on tv and or a podcast before i think it would bring some people together instead of providing more distance . The name of the show would be called “we-u-night” it would be hosted at night something different to have different sides speaking there points that was fun and interesting instead of the same old boring ping pong hearsay would be refreshing
