Show Notes

The World Cup is the most watched event on earth. This summer it was on US soil while ICE conducted raids in immigrant communities and used fear as a tool of authoritarian control. No ICE in the Cup is a campaign that meets that global stage with a global message, built on a pillars analysis, powered by artists and cultural workers, organized across deep ideological differences, and grounded in a clear theory of how noncooperation moves the institutions propping up authoritarian power. In this episode, Apyphanie Dawn, 22CI’s Communication Manager, talks with three of the architects: Paola Mendoza, Latinx artist, film director, and cultural organizer; Austin Weatherford, co-founder of Country First and veteran conservative political strategist; and Jordan Seaberry, painter, organizer, and Co-Director of the US Department of Arts and Culture.

The Anti-Authoritarian Playbook goes deeper on the pillars analysis, the theory of noncooperation, and the strategic framework behind campaigns like this one. Read it at bit.ly/antiauthoritarianplaybook.
