Five prominent thinkers gather at Washington DC's Lincoln Theatre on the night of Trump's inauguration to deliver speeches about resistance and political futures. Naomi Klein, Jeremy Scahill, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Anand Gopal, and Owen Jones each present their vision for opposing the new administration and building alternative paths forward. The speakers address what forms of resistance make sense in this political moment and articulate the kind of society worth fighting to create. Their talks, delivered as Trump assumes power blocks away, offer both critique of the present moment and blueprints for progressive action. The collection captures the urgency and determination of voices refusing to accept the new political reality without a fight.
