Online Event: Will Covid-19 Mark the End of Mass Protests?

Please join us to discuss what was from the end of the last Global Financial Crisis through March of this year an escalating trend of global mass political protests in countries around the world. CSIS's Sam Brannen will present researching findings from a recently released report on the decade-long rise in protests that ended 2019 at a historic high, as well as provide an updated outlook for protest movements in the midst of Covid-19. Sam will be joined by The Atlantic's Yasmeen Serhan, who will discuss her recent global reporting on protest movements. Special consideration will be given to protest hotspots both prior to and now emerging in the midst of the pandemic, as well as the intersection of rivalries between democratic and authoritarian governments and protest movements in the digital and physical domains.

I found the insights useful and gained new perspectives from the collaborative dialogue you held.

Probably not I feel like it will just make protests less effective and more dangerous😅
