EVENTS

Let’s talk about the F-word.

 

No, not that one. The other one. The one that keeps popping up in headlines, history books, and, unfortunately, on our doorstep.
Yes… fascism.

If you’ve ever wondered how to spot it, explain it, debunk it, or stop it from creeping into your community, this is the event you don’t want to miss.

Join us Sunday, December 7th for a deep-dive with someone who actually makes studying fascism… weirdly fascinating: Dr. Craig Johnson. Craig holds a PhD in History from UC Berkeley and hosts the wildly compelling podcast Fifteen Minutes of Fascism, where he breaks down the global rise of the radical right in a way that’s informative, accessible, and surprisingly fun. He’s also the author of How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism, a guide for parents and educators on keeping young men out of extremist pipelines.

We’re thrilled to welcome him back. Craig will take us through how fascist regimes around the world rose to power, what warning signs they all shared, and why the tactics we’re seeing in American politics today, particularly from Trump, echo those patterns more than many people realize.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I overreacting… or is this actually how these things start?” this talk is your answer. Come learn, ask questions, and get empowered. Because the more we understand the F-word, the better prepared we are to fight it.
