Frontline E03: Disruptive protest — an interview with Miriam Meyer from Last Generation
Channel: DiEM25
Date: 09/09/2022

Miriam Meyer is a German activist with the environmental protest group Letzte Generation (Last Generation).

Since joining the group she has, in her own words, been “getting arrested full-time”. The reason: blocking busy German highways in an effort to disrupt business-as-usual.

In this interview with Mehran Khalili, recorded in June 2022, Miriam explains the tactics and the motivation behind the group’s radical actions, and the establishment’s response. At a time in history that requires people willing to go to great lengths for their cause, is Last Generation’s model of protest the way forward?
