Title
Protesting in Oxford
Subject
Protest and demonstration
Description
Experience
The world is gripped in shockwaves of hurt and anger about the recent death of George Floyd and the issue of racism. At this influential time, protesting is a valuable way to use this momentum to push for systemic change. It’s not clear to me whether I should do this and risk spreading the disease. It is a tragedy that people need to choose between missing an opportunity to fix a horrible system of state violence, and not spreading a dangerous pandemic.
