Join us for a very special discussion with the man that inspired a citizens movement against the brutal dictatorship in Zimbabwe—RDI Frontline Fellow Evan Mawarire. Be the first to hear Mawarire discuss his powerful new book, Crazy Epic Courage: How a 'Nobody' Challenged Brutal Dictators and Moved a Nation. In this deeply personal and inspiring story, Mawarire shares the journey behind his story of resilience, courage, and the fight for justice in Zimbabwe.
From mobilizing millions through the #ThisFlag movement to enduring maximum-security prison for speaking truth to power, Mawarire’s experiences offer profound lessons on finding courage in the face of fear and transforming ordinary voices into a call for extraordinary change

This is more than a story of activism—it’s a testament to the power of hope, the pursuit of freedom, and the impact of one person’s commitment to a cause. Whether you’re an activist, a changemaker, or someone seeking inspiration to make a difference, this is an evening you won’t want to miss.
Come and be inspired to find your own crazy epic courage!
Doors open at 5:30 PM and light refreshments will be provided. The discussion will begin promptly at 6:00 PM, followed by a cocktail reception and book signing.
"Crazy Epic Courage is a remarkable story by and about a remarkable man, but the real message is that the courage to overcome evil lies within us all, it only requires a spark. Tyrants cannot rule us without our permission, and Evan’s alternately brutal and uplifting tale shows how we can, and must, withhold that consent and fight for the liberty and dignity that all people deserve. Read it, be inspired by it, and find your own spark."
—Garry Kasparov, RDI Chairman
