Rebutting Political Violence w/ Scot Nakagawa, Steven Gardiner, and Amanda Otero

from Block & Build · host Cayden Mak

This week's show was recorded live at the 22nd Century Conference. In this sobering discussion on the rise of political violence, Cayden is joined by Executive Director of 22nd Century Initiative and co-host of the Anti-Authoritarian Podcast (published by Convergence), Scot Nakagawa, Principal Research Advisor for Political Research Associates, Steven Gardiner, and Co-Executive Director of TakeAction Minnesota, Amanda Otero. They explore the grief and responses to last week's attacks on lawmakers in Minnesota and other recent acts of stochastic violent terror. The panel discusses how we orient ourselves to keep doing movement work in a increasingly dangerous environment and the need to go on the offensive while maintaining nonviolent discipline.
