Monica Smit on Building Community and Fighting for Freedom

We needed to go through that process now. I'm going to use the word selfish because it feels good in the moment and you're like, oh, this is great, I'm a part of something great.
Monica Smit has been at the forefront of Australia's fight for freedom since August 2020. Recognized as Australia's first political prisoner, she spent 22 days in solitary confinement for refusing to sign restrictive bail conditions, which were later overturned. In this episode of 'Life Beyond Thinking', Monica opens up about her journey from youthful mistakes to becoming a leading activist.
She founded Reignite Democracy Australia (RDA), an organization dedicated to keeping Australians informed with current news and resources, offering a business directory, a social media platform, and over 100 community groups across the country. Monica discusses the essential role of community in the struggle for freedom and how her faith and church involvement have fueled her activism. She also sheds light on the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on civil liberties and the dangers of globalism.
Emphasizing the need for mindful consumerism, she encourages supporting businesses that align with personal values. With a focus on innovation and change, Monica talks about RDA's new strategy aimed at creating alternatives to existing institutions like WHO and WEF. She highlights the power of connecting with like-minded individuals and reigniting democracy through grassroots efforts. This episode is a call-to-action for everyone to get involved and make a difference in their communities.
Tune in to hear Monica's inspiring story and learn how you can contribute to the fight for freedom.
