The 22nd Century Initiative to Counter Authoritarianism (2021) (Cowritten with Scot Nakagawa)

Autocracies are on the rise globally. In the US, far-right social movements have promoted white supremacist, authoritarian, and anti-democratic values, posing a real threat to democracy. Social-justice movements need to organize to counter this threat. This will require capacity building, new infrastructure, new communications strategies, and leadership across all sectors. The 22nd Century Initiative seeks to accomplish these goals. Its mission is to advance a vision of social justice and democracy that is inclusive and equitable.
