Über diesen Titel

 Block & Build is a weekly newsmagazine podcast from Convergence Magazine that examines the balance of political forces in the US from a movement perspective. Every week, host Cayden Mak explores what's happening in politics—and what we can do about it. The show takes Convergence's Block & Build framework as a jumping-off point for responding to escalating authoritarianism in ways that focus on preventing harm while building the strength, resilience, and strategy for our movements to win in the long-term. And we're not just talk. Block & Build is made by and for doers: every week we hear from organizers, strategists, movement journalists, and others who are helping to refine our strategy and develop strategic unity in a time of great peril for people and planet. But we have no time for doomerism. This show is about how to fight, and while we are clear-eyed about what we're up against, we're also determined to win.

    Feed Drop: The Anti-Authoritarian Podcast on Choosing Democracy
    Dec 29 2025

    We are off until the new calendar year. In the meantime we hope you enjoy a sampling of episodes from our network of podcasts!

    Episode Description from November 14, 2024: Following last week's elections, Scot and Sue are joined by Daniel Hunter, co-founder of Choose Democracy, to discuss how we respond to authoritarians emboldened by the election results. In the episode, they take a deeper look together at Daniel's recent post-election essay 10 Ways to Be Prepared and Grounded Now That Trump Has Won (first published by Waging Nonviolence and then shared by Convergence). What should we be doing to defend our democratic institutions? What can we learn from other countries fighting the rise of authoritarianism in their borders? Daniel also touches on the transformative power of trusting ourselves and making space for grieving in movement work.

    We Will Rise Again w/ Karen Lord, Annalee Newitz, Malka Older
    Dec 15 2025

    This week on the show we are joined by the editors of the new anthology We Will Rise Again, Karen Lord, Annalee Newitz (@ghidorahnotweak), and Malka Older. The book is a collection of speculative stories and essays on protest, resistance, and hope, which champions realistic, progressive social change using the speculative stories of writers from around the world. To assemble the book they put writers, organizers, scholars, and others in conversation with one another to dive deep on the messy work of making change.

    Read a story from the book online! "Where Memory Meets the Sea" by Laia Asieo Odo was previewed at Electric Literature.
