Evan Mawarire, a Zimbabwean pastor-turned activist who led a peaceful uprising against dictator Robert Mugabe, joins Ayelen Osorio of the Human Rights Foundation, Femi Longe, and Thomas Pacchia for a live-streamed chat in the PubKey Parlor, where they dive deep into:
- The chilling story of Zimbabwe’s $100 trillion banknote—and what it felt like to hold worthless money
- How Evan’s citizen movement started with a four-minute video and grew into a national protest
- What it’s like to watch your parents’ $80,000 life savings disappear overnight
- How Zimbabweans survive when their government zeros out their bank accounts without warning
- The underground networks and WhatsApp groups people use to find fuel, food, and basic necessities
- Why Bitcoin and freedom tech matter in countries where the financial system is weaponized against the people
