Email from Political Research Associates And listen to our podcast! Join us for a panel discussion exploring one of the most poignant issues fueling the Trump administration The First 100 Days of Authoritarian Gains Part 2: How MAGA Weaponizes Gender to Entrench Authoritarianism Register Here Tuesday, June 3rd, 11am ET In the first 100 days of the new administration we have witnessed a dizzying authoritarian escalation on virtually all fronts, including the authoritarian “patriarchal restoration” project that unifies the Christian Right and their secular authoritarian allies. Whether their motives are theological or transactional, the targets of their joint anti-gender campaigning are not just gender equality, trans rights, and reproductive rights but also racial, immigrant, economic, and climate justice as well as the possibility for democratic governance itself. Join PRA experts for a timely webinar on how the MAGA movement is weaponizing gender to entrench authoritarianism in the US, drawing on insights from our current issue of The Public Eye on the rise of anti-gender movements in the United States, and an examination of the first 100+ days of the new administration’s anti-gender offensive. We will analyze the escalating authoritarian regime and the foundational threats it poses to our communities and social movements and uplift strategies to block these authoritarian advances and build towards the just and vibrant feminist, multiracial democracy that now more than ever, we continue to demand. Register Here In Case You Missed It/Coming Soon: A Podcast Episode of The First 100 Days Part 1 On May 7th, 2025, PRA experts discussed the first 100 days of the new administration. We analyzed the escalating authoritarian regime and the foundational threats it poses to our communities and social movements. Experts took a closer look at anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim scapegoating and policy, as well as attacks on civil liberties and the right to protest on college campuses. Finally, PRA experts uplifted strategies to block authoritarian advances and build towards a just and vibrant multiracial democracy. This webinar will be released as an episode on our podcast, Inform Your Resistance, in the coming months. Stay tuned! Tune in to Season 4 of Inform Your Resistance! We kick off season 4 of Inform Your Resistance with a discussion with Principal Research Advisor, Steven Gardiner on the wide-ranging practices, policies, and ideologies underlying the antidemocratic goals of the Neoreactionary Right—and how to resist them. Diving into the foundations of White nationalism and Christian supremacy that prop up the billionaire agenda under Trump, the conversation pieces together the connections in topics ranging from privately owned micro states and the tariff regime intended to re-industrialize a post-industrial United States, to the fascistic, curtailing of opposition and checks on power. Listen Now! As PRA Senior Researcher Steven Gardiner put it, Trump's first 100 days are highly abnormal in American presidential history, yet very normal in the history of aspiring authoritarian regimes. In this webinar series, PRA experts break down how attacks on immigrants, Muslims, Palestine solidarity protesters, and trans and queer people are Trump's plan to push the bounds of democracy until it is destroyed. Only collective resistance informed by solid research can thwart his efforts. By giving a gift to PRA today, you will fuel the research and strategy critical to informing our collective resistance.
