Lifting the Curtain on Antisemitism
Lifting the Curtain on Antisemitism is a six-part miniseries brought to you by Political Research Associates and Diaspora Alliance. We explore how to understand antisemitism and its weaponization and to fight for collective liberation. Amidst rising authoritarianism and Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the stakes are higher than ever.
Antisemitism is a feature of authoritarianism and White Christian nationalism. And as Israel’s destruction of Gaza continues to unfold, its defenders use cynical charges of antisemitism to repress grassroots movements demanding an end to the devastation. This not only distracts from the urgent work of winning justice for Palestinians, but it also makes understanding and fighting antisemitism significantly harder. We need a rigorous analysis of how authoritarians use antisemitism and its weaponization as tools to repress progressive movements and to dismantle democracy itself.
Featuring wide-ranging, thought-provoking, and incisive conversations with leading experts —from journalists and scholars to organizers and policy analysts—co-hosts Shoshana Brown and Ben Lorber explore what antisemitism is, how it’s weaponized, and ultimately how we can fight it, in the service of liberation for all.
The Insurgence: Sheriffs
The Insurgence: Sheriffs is a podcast series that uncovers how a national network of far-right sheriffs is mobilizing to create a White Christian republic, one county at a time. The series features first-hand accounts from people across the country who have come up against the sometimes-fatal consequences from the unchecked power of county sheriffs and their growing alignment with the new Far Right. The Insurgence: Sheriffs is created and hosted by investigative reporter and PRA Research Director Cloee Cooper, and co-executive produced by Political Research Associates and Cuentero Productions.
