Happy Birthday, Gareth Jones

Tonight's episode is coming out soon! We're putting on the finishing touches, but first, we have a special celebration of a fearless soul.

Historian Timothy Snyder's international bestseller Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin opens with the story of Gareth Jones, the young Welsh journalist who risked his life and career to bear witness to the Holodomor—Stalin's genocide famine in Ukraine. This terror famine claimed the lives of around five million people, the vast majority in Ukraine, where Putin's war today builds on its brutal legacy.

Today, August 13th, would have been Gareth Jones' 119th birthday. To honor his legacy as an inspiration in the fight against fascism, disinformation, and the complicity of media "useful idiots," join Gaslit Nation and Black Diplomats for a live taping on September 16 at the historic Ukrainian Institute of America.

The special event will include a book signing of In the Shadow of Stalin, the graphic novel adaptation of Andrea's screenplay for Mr. Jones, the journalistic thriller inspired by Gareth Jones' brave reporting. Gaslit Nation subscribers at the Truth-teller level ($5/month) and higher get in free. RSVP here if you would like to join our event. We look forward to sharing more special invites soon! https://ukrainianinstitute.org/event/books-at-the-institute-chalupa/

To help fight disinformation, join the Media Democracy Project and sign their petition to hold Fox News accountable: https://www.mediaanddemocracyproject.org/

Don't forget! We're phonebanking this Thursday at 7pm ET with our friends at Indivsible, Indivisible St Louis, Indivisible We Will Persist, and the RISK! Storytelling Podcast. RSVP here to join us: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/628701/
