The Case for Hope in Dystopian Times

The Case for Hope in Dystopian Times

In this session, we won’t just examine the ways that novel technologies are driving inequality, eroding autonomy, and undermining rule of law, we’ll also look at the glimmers of hope piercing the darkness of this moment. Albert will highlight litigation, legislation, and grassroots organizing campaigns that are pushing back every day on the growth of Orwellian technologies. See how a new generation of dystopian storytellers are highlighting the once-invisible harms of government surveillance. Learn how groups defending undocumented immigrants, abortion care, and the bedrock principles of rule of law are fighting and winning in local communities across the United States. And see the strategies that can be deployed in your local communities in the months and years ahead.
