Friend,
President Donald Trump and his “special government employee” Elon Musk are breaking laws and democratic norms to inflate the power of the Oval Office and wrest power away from the people. Every day the United States sinks deeper into authoritarianism, with escalating attacks on the press, blatant disregard for the separation of powers1 and aggressive efforts to normalize racism and other forms of cruelty.
Join Free Press as we speak with global leaders — including a Nobel Peace Prize winner — who have confronted authoritarian regimes in Hungary, the Philippines and Poland. Learn from experts and advocates who have studied how democracies collapse.
Learn what has worked and what hasn’t. What role should journalists play in these chaotic times? What can concerned individuals do? How have leaders in other countries effectively fought off authoritarian threats?
We hope you can join us for an all-too-timely conversation that will help each of us identify the power we have in what can feel like powerless times.
Here are the details:
- WHAT: Defeating Authoritarianism: How People and Media Can Stand Up for Freedom Now
- WHEN: Thurs., Feb. 27, at 2 p.m. ET
- WHERE: RSVP on Zoom
- WHO: Free Press and speakers from the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (United States), the Institute of Sociology of Collegium Civitas and “Never Again” Association (Poland), Policy Solutions (Hungary) and Rappler (Philippines)
- WHY: It’s not too late for us to save our country from fascism, but we all must act swiftly to hold the line.
This is too important to miss. Secure your spot today.
Hope you can make it to Thursday’s live webinar,
Jessica and the rest of us at Free Press
