From protests against President Trump and Brexit, to Romanian anti-corruption demonstrations and the people defending threats to local libraries – we appear to be living in a new age of resistance. But how can we maintain momentum? And what can we really achieve? In this edition of our podcast for Guardian Members we discuss the power and danger of protest

This is the second in a new podcast made by and for Guardian members. Each month we tackle a topic suggested by listeners and answer your questions on it.

In this edition, Guardian members from across the UK and the world discuss whether we are living in a new age of resistance, consider what we might hope to achieve and strategies for doing so. We also hear from a Guardian Members live event at Kings Place in London, featuring writer and social justice campaigner Renee Eddo-Lodge; French-Algerian writer Nabila Ramdani; Selma James, who founded the international Wages for Housework campaign and is author of The Power of Women and The Subversion of the Community; and Nim Ralph, a trainer with Campaign Bootcamp, which helps campaigners become more effective. Chairing the event is Guardian columnist Zoe Williams.
