charlotte Vs Tyranny on Substack
Analysis, historical context, and a clear path to action, no matter your starting point.
This is the resource I wish I’d had when I started my journey into activism. Every article is written to give you one thing: the courage to take action, however small.
Through lessons from history, perspectives from my transatlantic penpal network and a reading list built to give you the tools you need - this is resistance made accessible for ordinary people.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Start where you are, the rest will follow.
Historical context of suppression and resistance.
Commonsense analysis of bewildering moments in current events.
Small, simple steps for acts of resistance.*
* Plus a good dash of hope and encouragement to keep us all going
