Hosted by Mara McKenzie-Levine, participants will examine the approaches and consequences of federal agencies' reactions to protests from 2020-2026 from both a sociological and on-the-ground perspective. We will discuss the exact methods of political repression that they engage in and what the impacts of that are on both a personal and movement-level. The class will draw on Mara's knowledge as a sociology student writing a thesis on this topic and their personal experiences being arrested and detained by DHS. 

This event is part of the Day of Reflection and Community Action, featuring workshops and activities led by students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The day is designed to create space for learning, feeling, dialogue, and connection.
