As Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s vice president in 1944, Henry A Wallace presciently warned about how racism, oligarchy, and media manipulation were nurturing the conditions for fascism in the United States. In order to defeat American fascism, Wallace wrote, we must boldly “go forward on the great adventure of making political, economic, and social democracy a practical reality.” [IPS]. Chris Mills Rodrigo, Managing Editor of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), talks about Wallace and their upcoming 2nd Annual Henry A. Wallace Symposium on July 17, 2025, from 10-6 ET, and can be live streamed, attended in-person in Washington DC, or available after the event on YouTube. Mills Rodrigo says most working-class families don’t know how much lawmakers have sold them out, and it’s time for bold ideas. Registration required for the day’s event.
