Thank you!! Long term strategy is so so important!

Friends...while we hate to end the season I'm excited to share this episode with you. Despite how challenging everything is there still are opportunities for us to build strategies that people need.

This is an entire class on how the tools used to target Muslim communities, are now being used on so many communities. And how we are safer in solidarity. So grateful to Darakshan and the work of Muslims for Just Futures.

In part one the latest episode of the Fascism Barometer, Alicia Garza - co-creator of the Black Lives Matter Global Network - shares how fascism is gaining and losing ground and how we can actively fight for a better future. 

Check out the episode wherever you listen to podcasts.

Kay is a genius at challenging the hate violence frame and I have learned so so much from her.

This past week on the Fascism Barometer, we spoke with Ken Montenegro and Che Johnson-Long about why now is an opportunity for us to assess what type of world we want to build as we fight continue to fascism. Fascism doesn't just seek to steal our safety, it also seeks to steal our joy.

In Part 2 of my conversation with strategist Tarso Ramos, we discussed how our fight with fascism and authoritarianism is going to require a bigger we. 

Check out the latest episode to learn more about how we build a better future and continue to grow the anti-fascist movement.

Tarso Ramos joined us this week on the Fascism Barometer! The episode is so rich that we're doing it in two parts and exploring fascist advances, how much time we have to address them, and strategies for our movements. Check it out wherever you listen to podcasts and fascismbarometer.org

Grateful that Erica Woodland joined us to discuss fascism, trauma, emotions, and how we ensure that we're able to continue the work of collective resistance!

Friends the episode with @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social was powerful, honest, and grounded. We talked about what's needed to defend immigrant communities, but also beyond defense. Cristina offered an incredible vision on how to build a world where everyone has dignity and belonging.

Friends this conversation with @lumumbabandele.bsky.social is so powerful! We discuss the lessons that the Black Freedom Movement offers anti-fascist movements, from victories, to experiences of surviving government repression. And check out the Resource Hub for action steps and more reading.

I'm so grateful for @lsarsour.bsky.social for joining us on the @fascismbarometer.bsky.social. She offers us a masterclass on solidarity and shows us how Palestinian liberation and anti-fascist movements are connected. In these times of tremendous repression, she highlights our power.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Friends this episode covers sooo much ground.... @shaneburley.bsky.social helps us connect this stage of fascism, to organizing amidst collapse, how to challenge antisemitism and it's weaponization, and how we connect all these struggles and to support Palestinian communities and movements.

Yall this episode with @malkiadevichcyril.bsky.social is so powerful. Excited for your thoughts on the connections between radical loss, collective grief, and organizing against fascism.

@mauricewfp.bsky.social of @workingfamilies.org joins me on the @fascismbarometer.bsky.social this week, as he breaks down how we defeat the MAGA agenda in Ep 3 (S2), No Kings, No Billionaires: Building a People-Powered Future! Listen and subscribe at fascismbarometer.org.

I loved having a chance to discuss fascism, coalition building, and all the complex ways we should be thinking about strategy now with @mskellymhayes.bsky.social on Movement Memos. I hope folks find this useful.

With Arrest of Midwife, Texas Escalates Chilling Reproductive Rights Crackdown The near-total abortion ban in Texas has already been deadly. A criminalizing crackdown will make mortality rates worse.

"To fight against the state’s abortion crackdown, we must recognize how the assault on reproductive rights and anti-immigrant policy are connected — and refuse to entertain the lies of the Christonationalists in power."
