Dear Friends, 

NDN is excited to announce the launch of a new, live video discussion series on US politics.  We debut the new series today with a terrific event – an interview with one of America’s leading experts on authoritarianism, NYU’s Ruth Ben-Ghiat.  You can learn about the series and register for the events we are calling NDN Talks here and below - and don’t forget about our weekly showing of With Democrats Things Get Better – it is still every Friday at 2pm ET.  

Join us for any of these events, invite others – all are welcome.  They are free and open to the public, and if you miss one recordings will be up on the site the next day – so check back. 

Today, 1pm ET – Ruth Ben-Ghiat

NDN Talks Strongmen With Ruth Ben-Ghiat – NDN is excited to host a discussion with noted author, historian and television commentator Ruth Ben-Ghiat for a discussion about her new book, “Strongmen,” and America’s current struggle with authoritarianism.  You can register for the event here, and learn more and order her acclaimed new book here. 

A quick hit on Strongmen from her site – “Ruth Ben-Ghiat is the expert on the "strongman" playbook employed by authoritarian demagogues from Mussolini to Putin—enabling her to predict with uncanny accuracy the recent experience in America. In Strongmen, she lays bare the blueprint these leaders have followed over the past 100 years, and empowers us to recognize, resist, and prevent their disastrous rule in the future.”  We have learned much from Professor Ben-Ghiat in recent months, and are excited to bring her to you.
