🚨 Democracy isn’t self-sustaining—it requires active participation. Political scientist Erica Chenoweth has studied how nonviolent movements have successfully challenged authoritarianism worldwide. So, what does that mean for us today?

In this live episode, we’re breaking down:

✅ How power works (and why authoritarians fear mass mobilization)

✅ Why institutions alone won’t save us—civil society must step up

✅ Tactical resistance strategies that have worked in history (and can work now)

✅ How YOU can take action to push back against rising authoritarianism

📣 Join the conversation! Drop your questions in the chat, share your thoughts, and let’s talk about what we can do—together—to protect democracy.
