Freedom Over Fascism
Freedom Over Fascism is hosted by Dr. Stephanie Gerber Wilson. She talks with activists, historians, journalists, and office-holders in a no-bullshit way about what a reimagined United States will look like. We talk about ongoing themes in the historical and cultural life of the United States, the history we've forgotten or is being willfully erased, and the vision and imagination it's going to take to rebuild a society we can get behind, whenever that can happen. We'll keep talking about how to win the information war and how to resist effectively. And we'll provide concrete advice on how to frame our ideas so we talk about what we're for, instead of reinforcing what we're against.
