Don’t Cede the Country with Adrienne Evans

Ejeris sits down with organizer, sociologist, and United Vision for Idaho Executive Director Adrienne Evans for a powerful conversation about belonging, authoritarianism, and what it really takes to build a movement that can stop rising fascism. Drawing from more than 107,000 conversations across rural communities, Adrienne challenges the idea that people in rural and conservative areas are fixed, unreachable, or already lost. Instead, she makes the case that many people have been waiting for an invitation, for someone to ask what they think and feel, and for movements to stop ceding whole communities to the far right. Together, Ejeris and Adrienne explore why belonging can be the strongest political force and how deep listening can open up transformation.   You can find the tools you need to fight fascism at our Resource Hub.
