Democracy is not going to save itself—it needs all of us.

Join us for CAPA’s next Public Square Conversation where you’ll connect with others who are ready to get off the sidelines and into action. Together, we’ll explore how civil resistance has prevented the backslide of democracy around the world—and how it remains our best shot at stopping the rise of authoritarianism here at home.

We’ll discuss Gene Sharp’s insight that power depends on the cooperation of ordinary people, not just the decisions of elites, and how that truth can guide us now. You’ll have the chance to reflect on how you want to engage, what resistance looks like for you, and what steps you’re willing to take to stand for human dignity and justice.

If you’re tired of feeling outraged but unsure what to do, this is your invitation to do something—and to do it together.
