SUMMARY:Do Something Now: Using Non-violent Resistance to Thwart Tyranny
DESCRIPTION:This month’s installment of the DO SOMETHING NOW…ASK ME HOW Speaker Series delves into the extraordinary power of ordinary people to resist authoritarianism through nonviolent action.\n\nTitled “Using Non-violent Resistance to Thwart Tyranny“\, the talk will explore how governments—whether democratic or tyrannical—ultimately rely on the obedience and consent of the governed. When that consent is withdrawn\, even the most oppressive regimes can be brought to their knees. \nJoin us as Gary D. Stark\, Professor Emeritus of History at Grand Valley State University\, guides us through historical and modern examples of peaceful defiance\, demonstrating how non-cooperation has been used effectively to resist tyranny and defend freedom. \nDate: Wednesday\, November 19\nTime: 7:00 – 8:30 PM\nLocation: KentDems\, 301 Fuller SE\, Grand Rapids\, Michigan \nDon’t miss this compelling and timely discussion on the true power of civic resistance! \nSign Up Here
