José | How Protesters Hit By Drivers Are Vilified @JoseBird | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
This video may contain information that is out of date as it discusses a case that is currently unfolding. Although the case itself is an important one, I would rather underline the importance of how incidents like the death of Summer Taylor, or any protester injured by a vehicle, are manipulated to dismiss what they stood for, and undermine the very notion of peaceful protest.
One thing I could have made clearer in the video is how marginalized groups aren’t simply denied access to platforms because of their identities, but because of their status in society as a result of those identities. This is an issue of class and identity, and how they intersect to create an imbalance in power when it comes to access to media platforms, and how effectively they can exercise their right to free expression.
And yes, I am one of those annoying people who prefers Free Expression to Free Speech. There are so many charming words in the English language and I like to use a lot of them. I likes me some free expression.
