The Power of Nonviolent Resistance | Why We Fight | Amber French-Griette

Send us Fan Mail Amber French-Griette — co-founder and Executive Director of the Organization for Nonviolent Movements — joins Dictators v Democrats: Why We Fight to explain why nonviolent resistance remains one of the most powerful weapons against authoritarianism. From Ukraine’s civic resistance against Russia to the role of strikes, boycotts, social cohesion and information warfare, this conversation explores how ordinary people resist dictators without picking up a weapon. We discuss wartime civic resistance, hybrid warfare, democratic resilience, social media, and why authoritarian regimes increasingly fear organised citizens as much as military force. Topics include: * Nonviolent resistance * Ukraine and civic resilience * Fighting authoritarianism * Information warfare * Democracy and freedom * Hybrid war and social media * Europe’s defence challenges Support the show
