From city streets to digital feeds, the spirit of American activism is alive and surging—but what does it look like now? In this episode, hosts Sari Beth Rosenberg and Vanessa Branda unpack the massive “No Kings Day” protests, where millions across the U.S. (and around the world) took to the streets to stand against authoritarianism.
They explore how this movement, echoing centuries of resistance, reflects both frustration and hope in today’s volatile political climate. From on-the-ground organizing to online storytelling, Sari and Vanessa break down how independent media, solidarity, and a refusal to stay silent are reshaping democracy: one march, one post, and one conversation at a time.
