Navigating Backlash and Repression: Resilience in the Face of Resistance

This episode delves into the challenges and strategies employed by social movements in the face of backlash and repression from those in power. We'll explore how movements have responded to attempts to undermine, co-opt, or violently suppress their efforts, and how they have managed to maintain their momentum and resistance in the midst of these adversities. Through conversations with activists and scholars, we'll uncover the psychological, organizational, and political dimensions of navigating backlash, and discover the ways in which movements have fostered resilience, solidarity, and innovative tactics to overcome these formidable obstacles.
