Speaking Truth to Tyranny

TaHa 47-50  

Speaking truth to power is often fruitless on the surface: your message falls on deaf ears, the oppression continues or even intensifies, you face negative consequences. So what’s the point?

In this episode Dalia Mogahed and Samia Mubarak discuss the importance of speaking  truth to power with confidence and clarity, regardless of the apparent receptiveness of those you hope to change.  

You will learn:

📖 How to approach a tyrant of any kind.

📖 The source of human psychological resilience. 

📖 The ways oppressors work to break you. 

📖 Why we must speak the truth even when it feels like no one is listening.

📖 How to maintain solidarity in the face of a “divide and conquer” adversary.
