Not all activism looks like a march. In fact, some of the most effective, needle-moving change is happening in school boards, community gardens, corporate break rooms, and group chats. This video dives deep into stealth activismwhat it is, why it's so often misunderstood, and how its being used right now to build power in hostile environments without putting vulnerable people at risk. This isnt about staying silent. Its about knowing when strategy requires subversion.
If you've ever felt like you couldn't be public with your values or organize out loud because of your job, your community, or your safetythis one's for you. Well walk through real-world examples, clear definitions, and a roadmap to build influence without visibility. Because winning movements need both loud leaders and quiet ones who know exactly when and how to move behind the scenes.
