"Dissent is democracy in action" is a powerful statement that underscores the vital role of disagreement and protest in a healthy, functioning democracy. In a democracy, the voice of the people should be heard, and dissent — the act of expressing disagreement or protest — is one of the clearest ways to exercise that voice. It's the heartbeat of progress, ensuring that the system remains accountable to its citizens and doesn't become stagnant or oppressive. Democracy is not just about voting once in a while; it’s about an ongoing conversation, a constant push for justice, equality, and fairness.Connect with Amy on IG: https://instagram.com/amyzellmerSupport this podcast on Substack: https://substack.com/@amyzellmer
