Cool. How do you participate?

Juliana Barnet

Start by testing movies, novels, plays and other works of fiction (WoFs) with the Fiction Featuring Activists Test (aka Barnet Test) rating the works of fiction you watch and read for full and fair representation (or not!) of activists.

Go on by adding your stories, questions, experiences, lamentations and reflections to the SOOP pot, using the  SOOP (Stories of our People) Activist Anecdotes Questionnaire.

Any topic is good, but if you have direct experience on any of the project areas, those are especially welcome!

For ways to participate and collaborate in the above projects–including inviting me to speak or give a writing workshop on any of them, please get in touch! To assist in getting Protect Our Activists and the future Activist Culture Center off the ground, including doing paid work, visit the Help!! page.

If you’re a Beta Commentator–a vital form of participation!–use the Beta Launch Feedback Survey.
