The Guilty Feminist - Road to Gilead

Join us for a night where we discuss the far right and figure out how to get off “the Road to Gilead” (the dystopian Handmaid’s future). We want to form a meaningful resistance and create a better existence. But how? This episode focuses on American Christian nationalism and how it’s seeping into British churches and society. We will discuss its anti-equality agenda that seeks to permanently subjugate women, people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community and people at the intersections of these groups. This includes the rising US-based campaign to remove the vote from women and “give it to the family.” And what role does big tech and AI play in all of this? And how we do make sure our faith-based communities are protected from nationalism?

We need to get wise to the well-funded strategies in place that are changing our society without our permission.

On our panels:

Zack Polanski: leader of the Green Party

Baroness Barker: Liberal Democrat peer

And

Chine McDonald: Head of Theos and author

Katherine Stewart: world expert on Christian nationalism and New York Times bestselling author of Money, Lies and God

Deborah Frances-White hosts the show, with comedian Desiree Burch.
