Show Notes

We discuss the radical idea that dissidence belongs to all of us. Living with truth is the starting point to being a citizen changemaker and to taking impactful civic action.

Gal's civic action toolkit recommendations are:

  1. Be in person

  2. Be deliberate about how you operate online

Gal Beckerman is a staff writer for The Atlantic and the author of How to Be a Dissident.
