Join us for a live conversation to break down the "authoritarian playbook"—the step-by-step strategy used by leaders to quietly dismantle democracy from the inside. We’ll be sitting down with Ivan Marovic, who helped lead the grassroots movement that famously toppled a dictator in Serbia in 2001, to look at authoritarianism as a calculated project rather than a series of accidents. Ivan will help us understand how these regimes use the same "scripts" to control the media, weaken the courts, and divide the public to be in control of the pillars of power in our societes. The goal of this conversation is to pull back the curtain on these tactics so we can recognize them early and understand the practical, non-violent ways to protect our communities and stay organized.
