Strategic nonviolent action has reasserted itself as a potent force in shaping public debate and forcing political change. Whether it is an explosive surge of protest calling for racial justice in the United States or a demand for democratic reform in Hong Kong or Mexico, when mass movements erupt onto our television screens, the media portrays them as being as spontaneous and unpredictable.

The Dreamer's dream is deeply rooted in the American Dream. This dream is the result of arriving to the United States as children through no fault of their own. An unintended consequence of good people who simply wanted a better life for their children. There is one thing that unites Dreamers and non-Dreamers alike: We are working hard to better ourselves and our communities. We all want a better life for our kids and family. As we look back throughout history, what is just and right becomes evident. I don't want the next generation to look back and wonder why good people stood silent.

In a culture of outrage, social media is the go-to place to attack and to hide. Users rant and vent, and they huddle in like-minded silos. We can block, unfriend, and hunker down in private groups.

We are told that, when we vote and elect representatives, we gain a voice in government and its policies. Yet, it hasn't translated our preferences into higher living standards for the majority of us. In America, the wealthy few have built a system that works in their favor, while maintaining the illusion of democracy. American voters have little influence on policies engineered by lawmakers. Political scientists call it the "income bias", causing lawmakers to compete to satisfy preferences of donors from the top one percent instead of the middle class.

Corporations are the most powerful entities on the planet. Unfortunately, many have had a long record of unprecedented and unbridled environmental degradation, social transgressions, and governance secrecy. Since by law they are beholden to their shareholders, some philanthropic trusts, pension funds, and other institutional investors have used shareholder advocacy to press for changes in corporate policy. But individual investors have largely been silent, thinking themselves powerless.

Are you interested in preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation? Do you think a secular system is the only way to ensure freedom of religion and conscience for all? Do you want creationism out of classrooms, religious dogma out of health care, sectarian prayers out of government meetings, and taxpayer funding out of "faith-based" initiatives and programs that promote religious indoctrination? Think there's not much you can do about it? If so, as secular writer and activist Dan Arel demonstrates in word and deed, think again.

Dieses hochaktuelle Hörbuch gibt wirklich hilfreiche Tipps, wie man Rechtspopulismus erkennt, wie man mit ihm umgeht und vor allem wie man am besten dagegen argumentiert. Es bestärkt junge (und gerne auch ältere) Menschen, eigenständig zu denken, Schlagzeilen zu hinterfragen und angesagte Themen auch mal von einer anderen Perspektive zu betrachten. Vor allem aber wird gezeigt, woran typisch rechtspopulistische Sprachbilder zu erkennen sind und wie man sie elegant und wirksam entkräftet.

Da sempre nell'immaginario collettivo, di grandi e bambini, il sindaco è il politico a cui si fa riferimento per tutto, quello chiamato a risolvere ogni problema della comunità in cui viviamo. Ormai sono passati 25 anni da quando, nel giugno 1993, fu istituita l'elezione diretta del sindaco, che da allora è il vero raccordo fra l'elettorato e il governo centrale, colui che cerca di mediare tra le forze opposte per il bene della sua città. Il proprio sindaco lo si ama o lo si odia, ma in ogni caso su di lui si può misurare concretamente la distanza fra le promesse e le cose fatte.

In "Feuer und Zorn" hatte Michael Wolff die chaotischen ersten Monate von Donald Trumps Präsidentschaft dokumentiert. Nun ist die Lage ganz anders: Trump hat die fähigsten Berater entlassen, die Weltmacht USA ist endgültig seinen impulsiven Instinkten unterworfen. Gleichzeitig ist er unter Beschuss, von Freund und Feind, von seiner radikalen Basis und dem politischen Establishment in Washington.

Times of great change did not occur by man's desire for change, but through protest and persistence. Across the globe, it seems we are in an era of protest and drive. Not since the '60s have we seen political divides and awareness of this magnitude, and it is shaping all aspects of our day to day life. While some feel lost in despair and fear, we can look to the past and rise up ourselves. Protest changes the world like nothing else has to date. What change do you want to fight for?
