How to Stand Up to a Dictator: The Fight for Our Future

Maria Ressa's "How to Stand Up to a Dictator" is an unflinching memoir of her decades-long fight for truth and justice in the face of authoritarianism.

As one of the most renowned international journalists of our time, Ressa has faced down corruption and malfeasance in the Philippines, transforming news coverage in the region and creating a groundbreaking online news organization.

But when she dared to challenge the new Philippine government, led by President Duterte, she found herself at the center of a relentless campaign of harassment, intimidation, and persecution.

Despite the odds against her, Ressa refuses to back down, exposing the ways in which social media companies have enabled the spread of lies and disinformation that threaten our democracy.

With unwavering courage and conviction, Ressa shows us how we can stand up to dictators and fight for a better future.
