There Are More Cameras Than Picket Signs: How Outrage Became Optics and Protests Became Performances

By Jereme Silltech

Outrage is everywhere, but change feels further away than ever.

Activism has transformed in the digital age, shifting from grassroots organization and sustained action to curated performances, viral moments, and camera-ready outrage. Analyzing the cultural shift where surveillance, social media, and public image have eclipsed the power of physical presence and protest, Jereme unpacks the consequences of being seen more than heard, and asks: What happens when being "on brand" matters more than being effective?

In There are More Cameras than Picket Signs, Jereme Silltech delivers a bold takedown of performative activism in the digital age. From influencers who brand themselves as "advocates" to corporations cashing in on causes, this book explores how protests have become photo ops and how real change risks becoming background noise.

Through cultural critique and call to action, Jereme challenges readers to rethink what resistance really looks like, and who it's actually for.
