From Average Mohamed to Dissident: Mohamed Ahmed Returns

Mohamed Ahmed, known to many as "Average Mohamed," returns to the Derate the Hate podcast for a powerful third appearance. In Episode 267, Mohamed discusses the closure of the Average Mohamed Organization and his new mission with the Republican People of Color (RPOC.org) PAC. He also introduces his second book, Dissidence in America, a bold call for non-violent civic engagement and principled dissent.

Topics covered include:

• The evolution from anti-radicalization activism to broader anti-hate advocacy
• Challenges of being a Black, Muslim, Republican in a polarized political landscape
• The impact of government surveillance and censorship on activists
• The founding of RPOC.org and why political action is the next necessary step
• The importance of peaceful protest and defending American democratic values

Mohamed’s journey reminds us that loving our country means standing up for the ideals of liberty, equality, and justice—even when the road is hard.
