Dream Defenders

Dream Defenders tells the story of a Black women-led movement born in the wake of Trayvon Martin’s death. Featuring interviews with leaders such as Nailah Summers-Polite and Jonel Edwards Mickles, this video series explores how the Dream Defenders evolved from frontline activism to a national force shaping politics, culture, and protest power. From organizing protests across Florida to expanding into states like New York and Georgia, Dream Defenders continues to build a bold, justice-driven movement ahead of the critical 2024 election.
