But what happens when power and resources are unequal? What happens when one side does not have meaningful military or governmental support? As history has shown us, successful movements require networks of brave people who must think outside of the box in order to fight for change.
Today, resisters understand that visual symbols, too, have the power to effect change. Women across the country have protested what they see as oppressive legislation by showing up to courthouses and marching on Washington in red handmaid™s robes”a nod to Hulu™s "The Handmaid™s Tale." The robe has become a powerful symbol of resistance, communicating that women cannot”and will not”be controlled.
The following creative moments of resistance remind us that everyday individuals have the power to subvert oppression.
As Biggers noted: œTo resist, ultimately, is to create another future.”
