SUMMARY:Forum Explores Ways to Confront and Push Back Against Authoritarian
 ism
DESCRIPTION:\nSun 11/16 @ 9-10 AM\nHow do you confront authoritarianism? Ho
 w about more than seven million people turning out for No Kings rallies ac
 ross the country (and more around the world) in October 18 warning the cur
 rent administration that we’re watching and we don’t approve. It toppe
 d three similar rallies earlier this year including the Hands Off rally\, 
 the Good Trouble rally and a previous No Kings event.\nAre there ways to k
 eep that momentum going and make it more effective? Are there other ways o
 f fighting back against the encroachment of authoritarianism threatening d
 emocracy and freedom in the U.S. That’s the topic of the next Sunday mor
 ning forum at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Cleveland\, part 
 of its Forums That Matter series.\nThe speaker will be Dr. Cherie Strachan
 \, professor at the University of Akron’s Ray C. Bliss Institute of Appl
 ied Politics. She’ll look at ways to overcome our understandable feeling
 s of helplessness as the administration attempts to strip the media\, univ
 ersities and legal system of fairness\, balance and equity\, and explore w
 hat we can do to stop it and reverse the trend.\nThe forum is free and ope
 n to all\, and you can also watch on Zoom.\nuucc_event/confronting-authori
