Fascism doesn't win because it's strong—it wins when people give up. Authoritarians count on their subjects feeling powerless. Pulitzer Prize winner Julia Angwin and former White House advisor Ami Fields-Meyer traveled the globe to find the students, workers, and everyday citizens who took on autocrats and won—and turned what they learned into a field guide. Their new book, On Courage: How to Be a Dissident in an Age of Fear, shows exactly how ordinary people can organize, resist, and defeat authoritarianism. Join the authors and journalist Jessica Yellin for a candid, galvanizing conversation. Featured on Rachel Maddow's podcast, who narrates the audiobook. Learn more here: https://hmmr.buzz/bedissident
