  3. Voices of Dissent:

    • Hear firsthand anecdotes and experiences from individuals who felt their freedoms were taken away by pandemic-related mandates and restrictions.
    • Understand their feelings of frustration, anger, and disenchantment as they navigate a landscape that often feels hostile and unwelcoming.
