ADVISORY: Join a Feb. 27 Webinar on Tools to Fight U.S. Authoritarianism with Lessons from Global Democracy Advocates

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump continues to push the limits of executive power in blatant defiance of the democratic checks and balances instilled in the U.S. Constitution. His relentless power grabs echo recent moves from other authoritarian-minded regimes around the world. 

On Thurs., Feb. 27, join Free Press and the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) in a discussion with global leaders who have taken on authoritarian regimes in Hungary, the Philippines and Poland. 

Learn what has worked and what hasn’t from experts who are facing down similar threats. What role should journalists play in these chaotic times? What can the courts and Congress do? How best should concerned individuals respond? How do we help people grasp the gravity of these escalating threats to our freedoms? And how can we mobilize across society to preserve and rebuild our democracy?

Please RSVP here.
