In this episode we talk with Susan Austin and Maren Stever from Indivisible Mid-Peninsula about the pillars of authoritarianism and how to protect democracy by taking action to topple those pillars. They discuss the One Million Rising initiative, which aims to mobilize communities against authoritarianism. Topics include the importance of sustained action, the authoritarian playbook, and how individuals can contribute to a collective resistance. The conversation emphasizes the need for community support, the significance of the 3.5% rule in mobilizing the population, and practical strategies for grassroots activism. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to engage in their communities and resist authoritarian tendencies.
