In this episode of Activist-in-Progress with ACLU attorney Emerson Sykes, we dive into how our first amendment rights are being affected by the novel COVID-19 pandemic. From university campus hate speech to protests that have continued and adapted during this pandemic, the civil rights lawyer shares his perspective on how to go about protecting our first amendment rights. Recording this episode left us feeling inspired by our right to free speech and protest, so if you've ever felt bogged down by the establishment—this one's for you!

On our first official episode of Activist-in-Progress, we had the pleasure of speaking with UC San Diego's Associated Students President Eleanor Grudin. We discuss the gap between "normal" students and student government, how her role as president impacts her ability to be an activist, and how UC San Diego's student government and administrators are working to support their students during this pandemic. We were moved by Eleanor's empathy and passion for her constituents and are grateful to have her as our undergraduate advocate. Enjoy!
