24-11-16 'Hold the line': Nobel laureate [Maria Ressa - resisting tyranny] > .

Maria Ressa’s points: 

1. Autocracy is about power and money, not about ideology 

2. Beware of bottom up attacks on journalists through social media (journalist = criminal) 

3. Beware of top down attacks through legal cases, tax audits, vindictive government agencies 

4. Do not normalize autocratic behavior 

5. Hold on to democratic values 

6. Be transparent 

7. Stay committed 

8. Not about taking sides, but on the side of facts 

9. Hold the line: defend the Constitution 

10. In some ways a corrupt government is easier to deal with, as everything is transactional 

11. Build community, engage with the real world 

12. Crowd funding to address challenges 

13. We are factionalized through social media (it connects as well as corrupts us and separates us), has led to people electing illiberal leaders democratically 

14. Collaborate 

15. Reach across the ideological spectrum to like-minded people who also care about democratic values 

16. Embrace your fears 

17. Imagine worst case scenarios and workflow them (through drills)
