From The Cold War to Mar-a-Lago: The Fight to Protect Democracy.. March 13th @ 7 PM CST | Zoom

In the aftermath of World War II, tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union launched the Cold War. Its end allowed democracy to expand, but also paved the way for Vladimir Putin’s rise to power. Determined to restore Russia’s influence, Putin’s ambitions extended to Ukraine, where Russian-backed leaders received support from Paul Manafort, who later joined Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Manafort, alongside Roger Stone, helped shape Trump’s political strategies—many mirroring Putin’s tactics: attacking the media, dividing the public, and undermining political opponents. Since then, Trump’s efforts to weaken federal institutions and privatize government functions continue to threaten American democracy.

Trump’s push to withdraw the U.S. from European defense alliances further destabilizes global security. As America steps back, Europe faces mounting pressure to counter Russian aggression alone.

Now is the time to act. We must defend our democratic institutions, support global alliances, and hold leaders accountable. Democracy’s survival depends on informed and engaged citizens.
