Every day we see incredible events hosted on Crowdcast, and some of the most inspiring have been recent events focused on activism and resistance.

That's why we're inviting a few awesome hosts to share their lessons on how to be politically active online. We will be joined by Elbert and Chaumtoli from Law@theMargins and activist Ashley Williams to discuss their experiences with hosting live online events on resistance and education.
