In just a few years, Hong Kong has turned from a free city into an authoritarian police state. Freedom: How we Lose it and How we Fight Back, a new book from Hong Kong democracy activist Nathan Law, narrates the story of the dismantling of free and open society in Hong Kong and the authoritarian influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Once the youngest lawmaker ever elected to Hong Kong’s Legislative Council, Nathan Law is now living in exile, fighting for democracy from afar. In conversation with Uyghur, Tibetan, and Chinese democracy activists, Nathan Law will tell the story of the Hong Kong democracy movement and discuss the importance of supporting democracy activists around the world to work in solidarity against authoritarianism.

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Atlantic staff writer Anne Applebaum will engage Nathan Law, Zumretay Arkin, Pema Doma, and Teng Biao in a conversation about how to build solidarity, opportunities for democratic activism in exile, and how to counter the global repression of the CCP.
