  • How to Understand Your Rights as This Regime Flails

    Trump is doing what all fascist losers do in the lead-up to a catastrophic electoral wipeout: he’s preparing to sabotage the election. And repression of civil society and activists is a key part of the playbook. In this episode, Leah and Ezra run through four real-world scenarios pro-democracy organizers may face in the coming months and explain what your rights are and how to exercise them. Then it’s lots of live Q&A on election sabotage, scam PACs, Democratic messaging for the general election, and more!
