While, in fact, it\u2019s an opportunity for his administration to target and destroy a broader network of left and progressive groups. We\u2019re living in challenging times with crises around war in the Middle East, renewed McCarthyist attacks on free speech, corporate domination of everyday life, escalating climate disasters and, now, a fascist takeover of our government.<br><br>As Will Potter has said, \u201cThe intention is to capitalize on this to crack down on their opponents and to consolidate authoritarian power.\u201d<br><br>We\u2019re also living in a time where large numbers of people have taken to the streets to confront those responsible for these crises. Today\u2019s state repression is aimed to eliminate that opposition.<br><br>This panel will explore the ongoing conflict between democratic resistance movements and state repression and lessons that we can use to push back against this authoritarian takeover.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panelist Bios\/\/<br><br>Will Potter is an award-winning investigative journalist and TED Senior Fellow who exposes political repression and the erosion of civil liberties. His reporting and commentary have appeared in The Washington Post, Foreign Policy, and Rolling Stone. He is the author of \u201cGreen is the New Red\u201d and his new book is \u201cLittle Red Barns: Hiding The Truth, From Farm To Fable.\u201d<br><br>Meg Kalaw is an organizer with Gabriela Berkeley, a local organization of Filipina women that fights for genuine liberation and national democracy in the Philippines. Currently, Gab Berkeley is waging the Chevron Out of the Philippines campaign, to expose the corporate plunder that multinational corporations like Chevron enact in the Philippines and the particular impacts on peasant and indigenous women and children. Meg is also the regional coordinator of the International League of People\u2019s Struggles NorCal, a regional alliance of anti-imperialist organizations in the Bay Area who are united under fighting state repression and promoting international solidarity.<br><br>John Viola is a Bay Area civil rights and criminal defense attorney.<br><br>Other Panelists TBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host:&nbsp;Co-sponsored by Green and Red Podcast, Diablo Rising Tide, XR SF Bay, Oil and Gas Action Network and Bay Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2025\/10\/13\/18880673.php\">Panel Discussion: What Everyone Should Know about Resisting State Repression : Indybay<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monday, October 27<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11.
