New Feature Announcement on The SnydeReport:

Image description

From unfair policies to corporate favoritism, we'll spotlight the struggles and challenges Hoosiers face every day at the kitchen table under their agenda.

Have a story to share? Let your voice be heard. Send us your experiences, and help us shine a light on the real impact of these policies on everyday lives. Together, we can hold them accountable...

Stephanie chats with Dr. Heidi Beirich, the co-founder and chief strategy officer for Global Project Against Hate and Extremism. The authoritarian movements across the world share underlying discriminatory ideologies, and too often have been exported from the U.S. The consequence of the growth in these movements is violence and the dangerous integration of bigoted and racist ideas into societal discourse, government policies, and political platforms. Increasingly, as far-right extremist movements have gained in strength, established taboos around far-right extremism have collapsed as mainstream political parties cooperate with extremists once considered out of bounds.

Image description

Every week in the Freedom Over Fascism newsletter, Stephanie will point out the stories relevant to the 2024 election in Indiana and nationally, with a focus on the stakes of the election, rather than any discussion of the odds. She'll also provide actionable guidance on tested messaging to use in our campaigns, activism, and daily conversations.
