Unpacking the New Era of Repression Pt. 1

Repression isn’t random, it’s an outcome from oppression. From sweeping book bans and ICE raids to attacks on DEI initiatives and the silencing of Black and revolutionary histories, a coordinated strategy is unfolding across the U.S. and beyond.

In this first installment of our three-part series, we break down the growing architecture of repression and expose how state violence, anti-intellectualism, and censorship work together to suppress truth-telling and organizing power. We’ll also examine how institutions like the National Museum of African American History are being targeted in this broader campaign to rewrite history and dismantle resistance.
