Future Hindsight is a weekly podcastthat takes big ideas in civic life and democracy and turns them into action items for everyday citizens.

Apr 30, 2026

We discuss the radical idea that dissidence belongs to all of us. Living with truth is the starting point to being a citizen changemaker and to taking impactful civic action.

 

Gal’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

1) Be in person

2) Be deliberate about how you operate online

 

Gal Beckerman is a staff writer for The Atlantic and the author of How to Be a Dissident.
