So each of us must participate in some way to create change. Stacey Abrams makes it easy for us.Every day, Stacey Abrams speaks truth to power. She writes about justice– whether in nonfiction books or in bestselling novels. And when she’s not writing about justice or abuse of power, she’s doing something about it. Her new initiative, the 10 Steps Campaign, is an essential toolkit, an educational effort to mobilize, teach, and engage the American public in understanding autocracy, understanding what we can do, and learning how to recognize, resist, and reverse authoritarianism. Once we understand the signs of authoritarianism, the campaign aims to build back a strong democracy, build freedom, and build power.Writers Bloc invites you to learn about Stacey Abrams’ new and vitally important educational initiative as she instructs us about steps to recognize, activate, and build in the fight to protect our freedom and democracy.Lisa Ling has arguably covered more ground in America than most journalists.
