    Reggie Hubbard: Good evening everyone and thank you for joining the October 7th Resist and Win National Organizing Call. Whether you're on the line or online via live stream, we're grateful for your attendance this Sunday evening especially on the heels of the unfortunate confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. I'm Reggie Hubbard, the Washington D.C. Coordinator for MoveOn and as we begin the call allow me to share some announcements. First of all, thank you to those who have teamed up with us to host these calls, Gail Lee Coves and the Center for Popular Democracy. Reggie Hubbard: Thank you also to the other organizations on the call and those who have joined us in the streets, there are too many of you to name one by one but you know who you are. In the next hour we will hear from a strong line up of movement leaders and we'll also have some interactive polling and time for questions near the end of the call. All in the spirit of empowerment, healing, focus and community. If you're on the phone and want to ask a question, press star three to connect with one of our screeners who will get your question into the queue. Reggie Hubbard: So where are we now? For the last several weeks a powerful, fierce outpouring of courage, honesty, determination was put towards stopping the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and you know we all know what happened yesterday. We worked hard on this fight as we have in every fight thus far in the Trump era and came up just a little bit short.

FORD Stephanie M. Wildman* Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg said, in words that resonate today (and not just because of his gendered language choices): Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.1 Those words apply today – not to a physical battle pitting north against south – but to the struggle for the soul of this democratic nation, where a large number of people seem unconcerned that democracy can slip away. Benjamin Franklin recognized that fragility when a lady asked him as he left the Constitutional Convention, “What have you given us, Mr.

Activism requires anger in order to be successful. Everyone experiences anger, but gender differences dictate the degree to which anger can be expressed. Anger is less accessible to women, and in this their activism is largely silenced. By examining the nineteenth century Cult of True Womanhood and its subsequent hold on present culture, it is revealed how and why women have been removed from expressions of anger.

  • A Song of Angry Men
    A SONG OF ANGRY MEN Affective Polarization in the United States as a Symptom of a Democratic Deficit LAUREN ANNA MAK Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen MA North American Studies A Song of Angry Men Affective Polarization in the United States as a Symptom of a Democratic Deficit MA North American Studies Radboud University, Nijmegen Lauren Anna Mak s4835115 Supervisor: Dr. Markha Valenta 20-03-2019 Abstract The United States is facing a crisis of democracy. Over the past 40 years, the increased prevalence of neoliberalist policies has weakened democratic mechanisms, while causing rising levels of inequality that, in turn, have driven up antagonistic tribalism. Polarization is accompanied by an unprecedented degree of hostility, causing experts to refer to this trend as ‘affective polarization’. Through analysis of intersecting historic, economic, political and cultural developments, this thesis examines where American democracy is lacking to produce such outcomes, providing insight into the various ways in which affective polarization can be viewed as a symptom of a democratic deficit. Building on Chantal Mouffe’s framework of agonism and antagonism and Rogers Brubaker’s ‘groupness’ theory, it becomes clear that, in the past decade, the collective identity of the white American working class has been politicized through deliberate politics of fear and resentment. Some scholarship, problematically and mistakenly, identifies this as a signal of a democratic excess, characterizing ordinary citizens as part of “ignorant masses” that need to be curtailed by the elites. However, this thesis shows that the sense of abandonment and discontent felt by these masses, actually signals a democratic deficit. What we are witnessing in many liberal democracies, is a democratic system without its demos at the center.
