This Public Conversation from a queer and feminist lens will examine the escalating attacks on our civil rights and our resistance, including our commitment to the unfinished project of our democracy and our visions for a better future. That includes dissecting Project 2025, the conservative blueprint to destroy our democracy and impose a Christian theocracy on America, and how we fight back.

We invite speakers, activists, and topic experts from the US and globally to share their perspectives, with an emphasis on cross-movement lessons and context for the present wave of right-wing attacks. We’ll include voices of the most-targeted communities and lessons from abroad. We’ll engage activists, change-makers, and thought leaders on the frontlines of the political and cultural wars.

Let’s educate and inspire one other – and spread the word on ideas to resist autocracy and seed democracy.
