Garry Kasparov Wants to Talk to You: New Zoom Calls for Subscribers

Join me for exclusive conversations—only for paid subscribers to The Next Move.

I’ve noticed an extra robust uptick in subscribers to The Next Move over the past day. To our new arrivals, welcome aboard and thank you (and if you’re already a regular reader, thanks very much for your continued support—this piece is for you, too)!

Together with my colleagues from Renew Democracy Initiative, we’re working on building a winning game plan for the pro-democracy camp through strategic insights, thoughtful debate, and a positive vision of freedom.

If you’re new here, let me say that you joined our community at a good time.

Beginning in September, I’ll be launching quarterly Zoom calls just for paid subscribers to The Next Move.

Using Zoom will allow for a more private, organic conversation than a traditional Substack Live—and give paid subscribers more direct face time with me, The Next Move team, and some of the most important voices in our national discourse.

I want to get these started pretty soon, and I’d like to get your input—which of the following dates would work best for you?

Please respond to this poll by Tuesday, August 12, 2025. I’ll look at the results at the end of next week and an invite to our first paid subscriber Zoom will follow in short order!

In order to enhance the experience, we’ll have limited seats for each call, so keep an eye out for that announcement.

And we are going to be rolling out even more paid subscriber perks in the coming weeks and months to show our gratitude for your support, so stay tuned. For now, you can also enjoy our special interviews with America’s top military experts covering thorny geopolitical situations from Ukraine to the Middle East. The full interviews are available only for paid subscribers.

For those who are not yet paid subscribers: I invite you to join us! I don’t receive one kopek from paid subscriptions. Everything goes back into the work of the Renew Democracy Initiative (read more about some of their work in this recent Kyiv Post interview) and getting more content out on The Next Move. With a small but mighty team, they’ve been able to support me in ramping up output here on Substack over the past few months.

On the fence about becoming a paid subscriber?

We have a special offer to make the decision easier for you: $49 for an annual subscription—a 30% discount—now through Labor Day.

Thanks, as always, for your support.

— Garry
