Heal Our Culture Update: 27 March 2026

On March 27, 2026 in Charlotte, North Carolina, Wes Fryer shares a Heal Our Culture video update focused on staying resilient through hope, joy, and community, including family gatherings. He previews the nationwide No Kings 3 nonviolent protest on March 28 and describes his work with Indivisible Charlotte and livestream plans, while condemning ICE actions, detention facilities, and threats to representative government. He urges learning “hard history,” highlighting the Wilmington, NC 1898 coup and massacre, and recommends the American Experience documentary “American Coup: Wilmington 1898,” plus related podcasts and Black history resources. He discusses the month-long Iran war, critiques current U.S. leadership, and recommends analysis from Angry Planet and the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. He suggests curating news via Substack, Verity News, and his news.wesfryer.com site, promotes an April 6 Media Education Lab webinar, and warns of potential domestic violence, recommending Timothy Snyder and Adam Kinzinger as sources while encouraging cooperative resistance to “heal our culture.”
