Protesting and Activism in The Informational Age
Let’s ask a few questions. Remember that Kony campaign? What about those ALS ice bucket challenges? What about Ferguson, or even the revolt in Egypt? How effective is protesting for change, and when does activism cross the line? This panel will be moderated by Seth Kravtiz CEO of Technori, other panelist include Fabian Elliot (Global Co-Chair of The Black Googler Network), Beckie Stocchetti (Director of Engagement and Programs at Kartemquin Educational Films), Kristiana Rae’ Colon (Founder of Letusbreathe Collective, poet from HBO’s Def PoetryJam).
