Clementine Ford's Big Sister Hotline

Do Protests Actually Influence Politicians or Create Meaningful Change?


Listen Later

This week on the Big Sister Hotline, we’re talking about protest; why it matters, what it achieves, and how it keeps us human in fractured times. From Gaza to the streets of Melbourne, protest is both a moral stand and a collective lifeline, reminding us that people power has always shaped history. Clem dives into the difference between war and genocide, unpacks the double standards in how resistance is framed, and explores why both nonviolent and violent protest have been essential to liberation struggles. Protest isn’t just about policy - it’s about solidarity, hope and refusing to give up our humanity.
