What would security look like if we moved beyond walls, borders, and exclusion? 🌍

Tomorrow we start our international workshop in #Hamburg exploring whether security can be reclaimed from far-right narratives - or if we need entirely new frameworks for protection & care.

This piece is a bit bleak, but it's a banger.

If we are to meet our critical moment in history, we need to reckon with the reality that we are not up against adversaries we have seen before. We are up against end times fascism. 🧵

Truly we are at an Orwellian moment here. And, to put it mildly, we don't seem to be rising to the challenge.

Eight years ago, we wrote the Indivisible Guide to organizing locally to pressure Congress and block the Trump agenda.

Now, we’re offering our best advice on how everyday people can organize to stop Trump 2.0: indivisible.org/guide
