And explore our 101 guides to understanding the Right! March/April 2024 Have you listened to the Inform Your Resistance podcast yet? Season 2 is halfway through and features discussions with experts: journalists, movement leaders, and researchers on the significant threats from the mainstream and Far Right. The season began with a discussion with former PRA Senior Research Analyst Heron Greenesmith reflecting on another virulent year of anti-trans organizing and the incredible, and ultimately successful, resistance strategies of the Trans liberation movement. In episode two, anti-caste feminist writer and organizer, Prachi Patankar talked to host Koki Mendis about the broad landscape of Hindu nationalist organizing in the United States. Her interview was followed by a discussion on male supremacism with Alex DiBranco in episode three. In episode four, Peter Montgomery delves into Project 2025: the Right’s playbook to remake the U.S. government as we currently know it, a plan to enact authoritarianism. As the season continues, you’ll learn more about movements like the Tradwives, the neopaganist Wolves of Vinland, and the devastatingly influential Christian Zionism movement.
