Radical thinkers, military resisters and longtime movement activists reflect on the past 40 years of resistance movements in the US, where we are today, and what to do next.
Community members participated in a forum, “Resisting Illegitimate Authority in Today’s Political Context” at the 40th anniversary celebration for the RESIST Foundation in September 2007. The RESIST Foundation funds activism and education work to build movements for social change.
On this edition, we’ll hear excerpts from the panelists discussing examples and strategies of resistance.
