Campaigns

A campaign on this website refers to events that are connected through coordinated actions. For instance, many schools took part in "Take Back the Night" campaign, which is coordinated by a non-profit organization. Another example is the anti-racism campaign at University of Missouri, Columbia (Mizzou), which consisted of at least 21 protests at and near the university and inspired many more solidarity protests across the country.
