Danger from the Right

Over the past couple of decades white nationalists and authoritarians have become growing threats to democracy and peace in northwestern states like Oregon and Washington. Lindsay Schubiner of the Portland, Oregon based Western States Center joins the show to take us on a journey through history to learn not only how the situation became what it is today, but to also point out legacies and modern day efforts of resistance. Lindsay specifically gives insight on the new threats from “active clubs”, networks of local white nationalist groups that train together and often show up to target and intimidate the community. What can we learn from the pro-democracy movement in the Pacific Northwest to build a super majority and counter these active clubs around the country?
