Revisioning Democracy: Episode 3. Resisting Europe’s Autocrats presents a conversation about “Resisting Europe’s Autocrats” with Frederick Clarkson, Senior Research Analyst at Political Research Associates.

This discussion will include our new comprehensive look at European far-right allies of Project 2025, including Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán. We’ve dug deep to consolidate reporting on Orbán’s alliance with the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025’s architects, and how Hungary’s model of “illiberalism” has been adapted for Project 2025. We’ve also looked into the dark money and influence that is flowing between US Christian nationalists and European far-right populists who are newly allied with Orbán at the European Union.

Clarkson will be joined in conversation by podcast cohosts Anne-christine d’Adesky and Jay W. Walker of the Stop the Coup 2025 campaign to stop Project 2025.

This event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center, 208 W. 13th St., NYC, 10011.

Registration is not required. Seating is first come, first served.
