Bill Moyer, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Backbone Campaign, joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to explore the value of creative activism and visual props in promoting causes and values. The metaphor of the backbone is a symbol of moral power and strength that voters are encouraged to draw on to protest, drive awareness, and mobilize to bring about change. The Backbone Campaign is supporting organizers nationwide to help them collaborate and effectively convey their messages.

 Deepak and Bill talk about:

  • The intersection of art and activism 
  • Impact of large visual props and light projections
  • Providing training, tools, and support to activists
  • Need to drive conversations and build emotional connections
