Movements powerful enough to defeat authoritarianism aren't built from a single source. They're built like rivers, from hundreds of springs, each distinct, each alive, all moving in the same direction. In this episode, Scot talks with Julia Roig, founder and Chief Network Weaver of the Horizons Project, about what big tent organizing actually looks like in practice, the role of artists in movements, how to drive counter-narratives that shift culture, and what network weavers do that no other actor in the ecosystem can.
The Horizons Project strengthens connections and collective action among US pro-democracy movements, sectors, and networks. Learn more about their work by visiting horizonsproject.us.
The Anti-Authoritarian Playbook goes deeper on the frameworks Julia and Scot discuss, the pillars analysis, the theory of network weaving, and what the history of democratic resistance tells us about this moment. Read it at bit.ly/antiauthoritarianplaybook.
