Dissident Project

New team member alert‼️

We’re thrilled to welcome Hannah Harden, our new Social Media Manager for the Dissident Project! 🎉

Adopted from China during the one‑child policy era, Hannah’s lived experience directly reflects the real and lasting impact authoritarian regimes have on individual lives. 🇨🇳

From growing up in Florida to now working in Washington, D.C., she brings a global perspective to our mission. 🌎

Hannah leads the social media strategy for the Dissident Project, helping to amplify the firsthand stories of those who’ve lived under authoritarian regimes and ensure their warnings reach the next generation. 📲

She studied Strategic Communication at Liberty University with a focus on social media management, journalism, and Chinese language. 🎓

Hannah is dedicated to elevating voices that defend freedom, saying, “I’m passionate about using communication to champion ideas that matter — especially those rooted in personal responsibility, freedom, and the American spirit.” 🇺🇸

North Korean defector and Dissident Project speaker Grace Jo brought her story to the YAF chapter at last Friday. 🇰🇵

She shared her firsthand experience growing up under the North Korean regime — fleeing starvation, surviving imprisonment and forced repatriation by China, and losing her father and brothers to the regime’s brutality.

Her campus event gave students direct insight into life inside North Korea, the devastating human cost of tyranny, and why the fight for freedom is never guaranteed. 🇺🇸
