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. Tune in every other Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts!
