Landslide In Action

Some of the most debated issues today—anti-war activism, civil rights, gay rights, women’s rights, Native rights, disability rights, and more—have been the subject of historic acts of protests, civil disobedience, and dissent, some dating to the Colonial era. The histories of some of these protests are at risk of erasure, fading from public memory, or worse, being forgotten. And, the threat is accelerating. As the New York Times recently reported, federal “agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid ... in government memos, in official and unofficial agency guidance and in other documents.” Examples include the terms “Native American” and “cultural heritage.” As the Times noted: “That shift is already apparent on hundreds of federal government websites.” To highlight the range of threats to several historic protests The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) will host the new Landslide In Action series of FREE webinars, sponsored by Victor Stanley, that will feature dynamic speakers who will reveal amazing stories about the ordinary people who dared to shape history, how the powerless became empowered, and the places where that happened. 

Each of the eight 75-minute-long FREE webinars will showcase issues and people featured in TCLF’s report and digital exhibition Landslide 2024: Demonstration Grounds.

Tune into the free live events, typically scheduled during the weekday lunch hour, or view recordings of previous webinars on TCLF’s YouTube page.

The webinars will take place throughout the year. They are meant to inform, inspire, and provoke while fostering new connections with our shared cultural lifeways and landscape legacies, the stories embedded within them, and how to promote sound public engagement and stewardship.

New events are added regularly, please return to see additional listings. You may also sign up for our twice-monthly e-newsletters, which will include announcements about forthcoming webinars and other TCLF events.
