Today’s Banner & Backbone AFBC continues the discussion into Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny with a deep dive into chapters 11, 12, and 13. The panel — Nick Paro, Kristofer Goldsmith, Stephanie G Wilson, PhD, Tara Devlin, and Melissa Corrigan, she/her — spend the majority of the discussion talking about the importance of investigation, doing your own journalism, and applying those practices to in-person interactions.
This is turning words into actions — it’s going on offense — it’s actively engaging in community building through personal relationships and authenticity.
It’s the Banner & Backbone community — you all are turning your words into actions by being involved, engaged, willing to learn, and spreading that knowledge to others.
Knowledge is power; however, that is only half the battle — power is useless without direction. We at Banner & Backbone — with the support of our colleagues and community — offer a pro-democracy, pro-dignity, pro-life, pro-freedom direction to restore integrity, service, and ethics into U.S. society.
