Theatre of the Oppressed NYC's Katy Rubin and Devyn Mañibo on the Importance of Fun in Community Engagement
In this tag-team PHIL Talk, Katy Rubin and Devyn Mañibo discuss the importance of fun in engaging communities in social justice work, and the power of "spect-acting" in humanizing policy proposals to elected officials.
"Organizing is not only doing the work, but also accessible and fun," argued Mañibo. "We're not going to make change without the three magic ingredients: fun, community voices, and civic engagement. Those are the three things that you really, really need to move forward."
