take it to the street
An idiom, with figurative and literal meanings; to actively commune with society while promoting the resources of intellect, creativity,
entrepreneurialism, and democratic processes to promote positive change, self actualisation, and solidarity. This quintessentially American idiom represents the spirit of grassroots activism and the powerful spirit of the people when
mobilized and when participating with our communities. It is
figurative language representing the mobilization of peoples to create change from within the community. It functions as an affirmation of sovereignty and empowerment in the face of marginalization, institutional oppression, and prejudice. As the fifth estate is the foundation of democracy and ensures the intrinsic spirit, voice, and actions of We the people; the participant and the witness alike may literally “take it to the streets.”
