In this episode of PeaceCast, NJN's Maxxe Albert-Deitch sits down with Ami Fields-Meyer, a strong and trusted voice on issues of democracy, authoritarianism, civil and human rights, and political power. Fields-Meyer has been an advisor to political candidates, leaders of top civil rights groups, and major philanthropic foundations, and high-profile public officials, from the mayor of Los Angeles and cabinet members to the vice president of the United States.
His book OnCourage, co-authored with Julia Angwin, debuted on the New York Times bestseller list in July 2026. Blending rich, previously untold narratives with history, spirituality, and movement research, Angwin and Fields-Meyer deliver a highly accessible book full of practical lessons – an inspiring resource for anyone, anywhere, who feel the walls of history closing in on them. On Courage is a roadmap to political courage and a powerful case for how taking personal risks can help save the free world. Hailed by Rachel Maddow as "a classic of our time," this book is a deeply reported manual about how anyone can defy an authoritarian – based on original interviews with more than 100 dissidents, activists, and theorists across the world.
