This reporting is a love letter to my community, & to the skill & thought that organizers bring to every action. I come from a movement & organizing background, before I was ever a journalist. I think you can see shadows of that in this story. 💕

The Brazilian Theatre Tradition Behind Britain’s Green Surge - PopularResistance.Org
The ideas behind Britain’s Green surge began in a Brazilian jail. In the 1970s, Augusto Boal invented a technique he named Theatre of the Oppressed. It sought to awaken audiences by making them active participants, turning spectators into “spect-actors.” Boal had drawn the idea from educator Paulo Freire, whose Pedagogy of the Oppressed argued that conventional education was a tool of domination, a “banking” model where teachers deposited facts into passive students. Jailed by Brazil’s military junta in 1964 and driven into exile, Freire proposed instead that teacher and student examine the world together, aiming at conscientização, or critical consciousness.
