Summer Fund Drive

The Trump Administration has sent Congress a rescissions package that would claw back already-approved funding for public media, including KBCS. These cuts would leave KBCS with a 10% gap in its budget. Our Summer Fund Drive starts Thursday, but you can help safeguard your favorite KBCS programs today. Please, donate now and thank you in advance.

Hold The Line: A Guide to Defending Democracy

October 28, 2020 - 4:31 pm

Hardy Merriman

Hardy Merriman is President and CEO of the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict. For nearly two decades his work has focused on human rights and prodemocracy movements around the world that use non-violent tactics, strikes, boycotts, non-cooperation and other non-violent actions to fight authoritarianism. When Trump ordered the military to attack non-violent black lives matter demonstrators in Washington, D.C., it was a wake-up call for Merriman on what the president might do to thwart the election. He joined forces with inter-generational and interracial organizers and wrote, “Hold the Line, a Guide to Defending Democracy.”  KBCS’s Martha Baskin has this interview with Merriman.
