Resources
The resource library is a project of A Counter-Imaginary in Authoritarian Times. It gathers tools, guides, data, and creative work from organizations responding to censorship, surveillance, and the targeting of communities and fields of study. Each listing offers an overview of the resource, who it serves, and where to begin, from know-your-rights materials and public data on immigration enforcement to peer support for scholars and artist-led projects reimagining public memory. Resources are selected by the project team and link to the organizations’ own sites.
